I don't see any aftermarket heads in your sig so I assume you have the stock heads. You should see some gains, but not as much as if the heads were replaced. I did the heads first. THat's the choke point on the motor. The street intake was the last thing I did. So, now the power really comes on right past 3000 rpm. (By my stock inaccurate tach). I went from 14.4 (Bone stock) to 13.4. And I don't go out to the trak much. Just for fun once in awhile. So I have no great track skills. I'm sure there is more there. Plus I could use a dyno session at this point. Need an adj FPR yet...and new O2 sensors. Tell us if there are any other mods than whats listed...

The stock heads will be a restriction till they are ported or changed. Do a search on thumper heads. An inexpensive alternative to buying replacement aluminum heads.

You'll gain 10-12hp with it and it will make more power over stock from 3500rpm+. It should add about 2mph to your trap speeds. On drag radials, if you can launch, you should see low 13's @ 102ish.

I know a guy who used to run that intake. (blew motor) He has it off now and those ports are too big for stock heads. I really don't like the design of the upper, a big chunk of metal right after the TB, which I would think would cause a restriction, and the opening seems like it would be bad for velosity. If you haven't bought it yet, I would suggest finding a different road. I had the chance to trade intakes, but have no intentions of doing so.

I have heard that you need some 12point sockets and the back bolts are a real PITA to get to.

IMO,you will see better gains with a t-moss lower intake,because of your stock heads!!
