Just completed the PI intake swap and cam install.

Major power difference!

Installed:

PI Intake
Dragon Plenum
70mm T/B
SHM cams

Everything seems to be working fine so far. I'll post dyno #'S when they come in.

See Ya!

Awesome....
Did you swap on the stock intake or port mathc the heads or use an adapter?
Are you going to get the car dyno tuned also?
Can't wait to see some #'s.

I just did a direct swap. I wish I could find a shop to Tune the car but they are all far off ( Atlanta or Nashville ) It sure would help to have a great tune though. Tommorrow after the gaskets set up and I know I have no leaks I will put the beast through it's paces. From what little driving I did do I noticed much improvement. After looking at the head ports and intake ports I don't think you loose much over the 1/8-1/4 inch of miss matched openings. Maybe a little turbulance but that can't be all that bad. My only concern would be a leak from the coolant ports into the intake port on the heads. There is only a small amount of space between the two. I added plenty of gasket material at those points. We'll see what tommorrow brings!
