He's talking about the intake, not the bottom end.98GTVortech said:10psi for stock bottom end MAX.
If he gets the C&L intake he'll get more power with less (or the same amount) of boost. That's a good thing.mogs01gt said:am I the only one around here that understands what BOOST is.
It can handle more power than what you think. Boost is the amount of pressure being put into the manifold. Boost doesnt produce power, its a measurement. Now, the intake is actually better than what people think and there have been a few that I have heard of supporting 600 horse power with a good set of Stage 2 heads and some cams. The Heads will be the major factor in how much boost you will see. If you get those heads flowing over 220 CFM, you will see a drop in the amount of boost but a lot more power.
If you want to spend the cash now get the bullitt but I would suggest looking into the new p51 intake from Fox Lake. I saw the new look of it and holy **** that thing looks great.
Get those heads done first. That is what will hold back the motor.

I'm not saying that the stock intake will blow up. I am saying the his stock intake is a restriction. It just seems to me that the $/hp ratio is excellent with the C&L and a blown GT.

I was only wondering if the stock plastic intake would hold together because i keep hearing about people cracking them with N/a motors? Thanks for the info though, and the reason i have not changed it yet is i am not at all impressed by the power gains and LOSSES that the aftermarket is offering. In almost every article i read it talks about the intake losing power untill 5500 rpms and the you gain 15-20 for $1500, no thanks. just my .02
