My motor is all stock, excluding a 94 MAF and 1 5/8 unequal flowtech shorties. It runs pretty strong judging by my 100mph trap (with spin).

How much power could be gained by swapping to a aftermarket lower intake and MAC 1 5/8s longtubes?

I am just thinking this is only around $400 of mods that should show a decent gain. Oh, I do have a 150 shot I will be using this spring also.

I gained 2 tenths when I switched to MAC longtubes on a stock motor also picked up 1.5 mph. I recommend a upper/lower intake combo.

I'd say 2-3 tenths as well. In reality, you may loose more traction off the line so your trap speed should go up about 2 mph even if your et stays about the same.
