Quick little video from my phone. It doesn't feel like its lost anything down low. After the longtubes I'll get it really dialed in.

Very nice, I want to see this in person and go for a ride. I always heard it wasn't worth it for the A/T lemme know your opinion.

Nope, doesn't look like it lost much down low considering that you were spinning first and half of second.

Let us knwo how it feels when you get to drive it!
I wouldn't say they are "not recommended" but everything i've read points towards some not a lot of low end torque loss, with the obvious gains in the top end. Not that many people will be in that band very much, but what i really think it offers is a more consistent, leveled and even climb thru the power band between 4000 & 7000. It all depends on how you look at it...you can either start strong or finish strong and the only thing that affects that in regards to a intake manifold is the length of the runners. Honestly, it looks like a good bang for the buck for those of us who are on a budget or can't afford the $7k-$9k price tag of a supercharger + install
Can't wait to get mine installed with the L/T's

Not really. I followed the install guide from AM. Pretty simple.

You should just bring it over here and we can knock it out.

I'm going with Stainless Works. I don't have to worry about emissions since my car is registered in Arkansas.
