Try searching for it. But I think I remember reading it didn't really improve anything at all, considering the stock intake is already a good design.

Just paint the one you have. It would be a lot cheaper.

It also requires some modification to work on stock untouched heads.

Buying parts on name alone is a really good way to waste a lot of money and have a slow car to show for it.

If you want to spend money replace the Accel injectors and the Aeromotive regulator, those were both mistakes. 30lbs SVOs and a stock regulator is a BETTER more reliable setup by far.

I read of someone that dynoed one, but I don't remember if they did the LT1 or LT4. Either way it showed a 5rwhp and 10-12rwtq. You can decide if those numbers are worth the money.

It would be a waste of money on your setup, don't bother.

On a 370rwhp car so on a stock car if anyting it would be worth less.

On any setup it would be a waste of money. It's basically a stock manifold that's been painted and ported... stamped perhaps.?.?.?

Either way port the stocker, port the throttle body too and that won't cost you anything... except for whatever large throttle plates cost
