Power Gains w/ new intake manifold???

Blaster · 10-13-2001, 09:45 AM

I posted awhile ago about h-pipe power gains w/ my combo of Edlelbrock 6037 heads, pulleys, 15/8 shortys,k&n,e-cam, and 3.55's, and hollowed stock h-pipe. Anyhow I want to go with a new intake manifold set up instead of a real off-road h-pipe(no emissions worries here!hehe) Anyhow will it make much of a difference without a new t-body and mass air? Can I get a couple 10ths with just the new manifolds? Will it be noticeable?

In my opinion it should flow alot better, but your stock TB is going to be restricting it. Because the opening of the stock TB is only so big, and most aftermarket intakes have a 70mm opening.

If your running a stock intake with the edelbrocks an aftermarket intake will help you greatly! A 65mm throttle body would be a good idea too.
