Yeah, it will pass. If your running stock heads it's a waste of money because the ports are so much biggger then the ones on the heads it doesn't align right and cause's turbulance. I have heard alof of misalignment storys with there intake and aftermarket heads too. I would stick with something else like the Edelbrock or new MAC.

The design and wheather or not you like the way it looks is subjective. I personally like it, although i was a little weary when i bought it, after installing it with my blue valve covers, blower, and heads. (we sandblasted and painted everything in the compartment

) I have not had a chance to really drive the car hard because we are still working the bugs out of it.

I recently put them on, and so far, they're awesome. I feel some big improvements once I combined the intke w/ MAF and TB. It's got plenty of HP/torque. I can't wait to get back to the track. Are you getting the reagular TF intake, track heat or street heat?
