Well... the set up that I am talking about is probably going to make 600 to 700 rwhp.

I never said that it would add 300 rwhp. A better intake manifold will give more horsepower and torque throughout the rpm range. It's just not all about peak. Not to mention that the stock intake will be a restriction. Apparently the stock intake is the only thing out there.

Start thinking custom?

i'm not saying it is never needed im jsut saying unless your trying to run freaking 8's it work just fine stock for over 500 RWHP and P&P 600-700 RWHP
you will max these heads before you max the intank or TB

So yeah... the stock intake manifold might find it's way to the garbage can.
