Oh contra!!... in order to compliment the oversized valves/cam and throttle bodies/ exhaust, you'll need to do intake work as well... in order to make HP you need to move air... the internal combustion engine is essentially an air pump, overly restricted intakes equals loss of power as does overly restricted exhaust... it's all in the balance and systems interaction, similar to an orchestra where the instruments work together in harmony, opposed to just played music on an individual basesà certainly doing one without the other yields nothing!!!


It is my understanding that he intends to put this on a stock or near stock engine... This will give almost no gains. Now, in your case, you need it for the added mods. I believe (off the top of my head) you have an overbored throttle body, ported intake, AFM from a larger engine, OS valves, cam, ehxaust, etc...

I still say put the money elsewhere... The intake will disappoint him, and the same $250 could get him a cam and valve setup that will give actual gains, not just *bling*. Save the intake for later...
