Just wondering if anybody has run the comp polymer intake

Comp Cams VH050 - Comp Polymers 5.0L Intake Powerbox - JEGS

I think it would be a nice add on to the motor in my 89 gt. I know comp makes
great cams but what about this intake.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

what are your plans for the car?

if you are going to run it on the street, that intake will make the car fall on it's face.
if you have a stroker or run a power adder then that intake will kick ass at the strip.

it's a small runner box type intake so by design it's for a high reving motor which means on the street on a mild 302 you'll be missing allot of torque.

I actually ran this upper on a gt40 lower both on a stock head/cam 302 and on a built 408w.

I liked the intake.

On the stock 302, the car needed more gear to keep in the new power band. I had 3.27's, and would think 3.55 or 3.73 would be ample.
Re-thinking the valve events would be ideal as well...

On the 408w I think this intake would have been choking the motor off, if I wasn't running a smallish head at the time.

I think it's a good intake for a gt40 setup, but the entire car needs to be built together. That means looking at gears, cam, heads, etc.... anytime you change ANY part....
