I was wondering if i would have any problems putting a performer rpm intake with 30lb injectors, 75mm throttle body and 75mm mass air sensor on a stock 5.0 would this help or hurt the performance? i am in the middle of a rebuild and am going to throw another engine in my car for the time being just looking for some more power out of the stocker

It will be fine since from what is looks like, you're going to swap the rebuild back in when its done, correct? The rebuilt engine will have the gt40 heads and stuff, right?

Once im done with the rebuild everything will be going back, but for the time being i just wanted to get a little more power out of the replacement engine. i was just wondering if the intake and stuff would be too much for the stock engine, since i was not planning on changing the heads

So you're going to put the rpm back on the rebuilt engine right? I wouldn't do it just b/c IMO it would be wasted time. I would just hold off and throw it on the 306 when its done.

Which heads are these the gt40 aluminum or the gt40 irons? If they are the aluminum and are'nt ported I wouldn't go with the RPM i'd go with just the regular performer. That is if you haven't bought it yet.

I have an RPM intake and was wondering the answer to this question as well. I got it because I got a good deal on it. Would it hurt the performance of a stocker?

say good bye to low end torque until you swap that gt40 stuff on.
