Depends how far you want to go with it..

Have fun


Is there any real benefit other than knowing you have the worlds cleanest intake?

I did the TB and elbow as well - The smoother the flow the better..The motor takes advantage of airflow . I''m at the point where I need more fuel - over 300hp - and need injectors/ bigger pump.

Its back together and runs great. My slight stumble at idle is gone, and it seems to have more power. I accidentally peeled out a bit on the test drive. The second time I peeled out...not an accident.

Thanks for the input guys
