Wow. I love this thing. Dyno soon to come.

Well, all I have to say is....NICE!

I "think" I can tell through-out the power band, however I know there is more power from 5,000 up....the difference is there. The engine no longer has that 3rd gear forever WOT pull.....there is a lot more pull in the upper RPMs. 1st winds out quickly, 2nd almost just as fast. 3rd, there is a noticable difference in how long it takes to go through the RPMs.

Yes, the intake adds a little volume to the sound. The intake is actually louder than my exhaust. Then I realized I don't usually drive with the passenger side window down....rolled that up and still the intake was more pronounced than the exhaust. I LIKEY!!!

I would recommend the Edelbrock Performer X intake manifold to anyone.....I really want to see the difference on the dyno and see how much is actcually phsycological and how much is real. The above 5K is REAL IMO.

Dyno will be scheduled soon for proof.

Added pictures to imagestation....placed them up top.

Everything went very well, they include new hoses for the fuel return and purge due to the different placement.
