DropTopPony said:one of my old neighborhood stangers has one on his car that Texas Hot Rods built...he likes it and says the quality was very good...
I would probably go with the Trickflow 4.6 2V intake personally.

Jrgunn5150 said:Definately, I beleive the needed parts include a throttle body, cable, special alternator or alternator bracket, and the gasket's should be good from your motor.
I't honestly only good for a pretty small gain on a mild to medium set-up, but it looks soooo cool, and it's going to support all the flow you can throw at it in the future.

Make that kit as fail safe as possible, most only make it to 150 shot. I would love to see the dyno numbers put down with a 200 shot, surely it will be awsome.

Don't I know it LMAO... I have had several hour long PM convo's with guy. Definitely knows his shit and more than willing to share info. Wished I could say the same about that website though :lame:

Sounds like you on the right path, although I'm not sure I'd want a cnc program head run for a N/a/nitrous engine. You may want to overlook their (MMR) flow data before making a purchase, CFM is great when you have forced induction, velocity is key when running N/A. The Trick flow intake would be a better choice of the intakes for your combo, the csa and runner length would be better suited for the profile of the 274 cams.

Most of the intakes available for us don't add an appreciable amount of power unless you're planning either an extreme power adder (super, turbo) application, or you want to go n/a and need the short runners for spinning at higher RPMs (as in above 6500 or so). Even then you'll want it ported or extrude honed. For the typical street car operating from off idle to 6500 or so, none of the intakes help the overall torque curve that much over a stock PI intake with a good plenum/tb combo The other thing is the "real world" factor-that a plastic intake won't experience the heat soak that an aluminum one will. Something that won't show up on a dyno.
Plastic isn't the devil, it doesn't look pretty, but really there are plastics out there now that are stronger than most metals should companies choose to manufacture them as such.
