Or spend big dollars on custom piping and custom intercooler. The kits you buy are for street cars not race cars so they are very inneficeint. Crappy heads have an effect to but not near as much as what people think. Jeff
FMIC for me is out of the question as I'm not willing to cut up the nose of my Trans Am nor am I willing to delete the fog lights. Just not efficient enough sitting there behind everything (although Call 911's seems to be doing good and his setup probably has about the same flow as my T/A would). I have put though towards doing a Blower to intake direct pipe since I'm going to be running injection anyway, but haven't decided for sure yet as I'm curious what my motor is going to do with the way it's set up. Main goal is to get everything in and running. I can change intercooler and piping up after the fact. Seeing D-1SC results recently on a 383 LT4 headed setup making 680 RWHP without meth through twin intercoolers gives me hope though.

A member on another board informed me of this. Thanks for the confirmation!!

FYI the setup is 383/LE ported TFS Heads/LT4 manifold, so it should move some pretty good air.

I've got feelers out about a head unit exchange at the shop I purchased the blower from and a couple of other places, so hopefully something there materializes.

Thanks everyone!

then I'm more than interested to see what kind of results you get as I'm also doing ported Trickflows, however I'm going with a ported LT1 intake instead. good luck with your build
