An intake alone isnt going to do anything.
People keep saying this but it doesn't match my first hand results so who am I to believe - strangers on the internet or my own, lived experience?
I acknowledge that to you and everyone else I'm the stranger on the internet. I have posted to this thread a chart indicating that the stock HO manifold has a claimed ~20% difference in flow efficiency between the best and worst runners. I have posted a photograph of my own exhaust collectors whose soot-colors per-cylinder exactly match the expected outcome of rich and lean cylinders that coincide with which cylinders are expected to be rich and lean based on that flow difference. I have posted a video which demonstrates a dramatic change in exhaust tone after changing only the intake manifold.
The part for which I cannot provide evidence is my butt-o-meter so that much of it - to anyone else - is just some guy on the internet saying so. Shrugs all around.
