I got a good deal on the Edelbrock RPM 2 intake ($300.00). I am changing intakes to see if there is a difference. The swap was easy. Only ran into a few problems. The intake vaccume tree hits the fire wall. The bolts the hold the fuel rails were too long and had to be cut shorter. The supercharger discharge tube had to be cut shorter also. Here's some pics of the swap. Hope it helps the track times. I'll find out in the spring.

Old intake GT40.


Removed valve covers to paint.


Removed old intake and cleaned gaskets. Painted the valve covers.


Old intake and RPM 2


Moved fuel rails over.


New intake.


Sorry about the big pics.

Looks good, but wouldn't having a breather on the oil fill tube and the air tube that goes between it and the throttle body create a pretty big vacuum leak and also cause you to lose some boost?

I get that alot. I put vaccume caps on both sides and slid the black tube back on. Same with the egr coolant hose.
