Come spring I will continue my N/A build. Right now I have the crappy plastic cross over PI intake. Should I go with the HPS hardball or just get the newer PI intake? Also about how much could I expect from a P&P.

If you can afford it, get a P-51. It is expensive, but will yield nice hp/tq gains.

The P-51 is nice but 700+349 for the installation kit is kind of high. I could get a new PI intake plus comp 262 cams for around the same cost. The HPS Is around $600.

The HPS is gonna make a few more hp, so if you want to spend the extra cash, then do it. Keep in mind that an advantage with the stock PI is that the plastic material won't be as hot as an aluminum piece.

If you are going with the Comp 262's, you won't need a stage 2 or 3 P&P since you want to match your cams powerband with the heads' powerband. I would guess around 10-15 rwhp for just the P&P.

The HPS is 600, but you still need a plenum and throttle body. The p51 you just need the throttle body.

Also, remember the p-51 use to be 1000 + 350

The nice thing is I already have a 75mm tb and plenum.

So are you saying it wouldn't be a good idea to get a P&P with 262s. I want to make as much power and torque, as low as I can in the power band.
