I'm not necessarily thrilled about the intake manifold selection we have, but I also just got a vortech instead of a KB...I'm hoping that w/in a year or so down the road this intake or possibly another will help with the response of the S/C down low...i wouldn't necessarily buy one to add peak H.P....I'm tryin to stay away from numbers that might put a hurtin' on my block before I can afford to get a new one.
