Ya, the intake is overkill for sure if you still have stock heads. But I wouldn't hesitate putting it on, if you have it.

No need for bigger injectors, not until you do some real mods. 19s are sufficient for 275ish rwhp pretty easy.

I don't judge on how it looks. You have to start somewhere. I personally like to see people turn nothing into something. That's what good about this site you'll see from start to finish of different members cars. I've started but haven't finished yet. I've had my car for like 4 years lol

Go ahead and put the intake on there you should be fine. Along as its tune for the current set up.. I have some 30's you can have cheap. They need to be cleaned tho. Been sitting for a year now.

Edited for relevence...

75mm TB is way bigger than your build needs. 70 would be the biggest I'd recommend. 24# injectors will work fine for you. You WILL need at least a calibrated MAF, however I strongly suggest you get the car tuned.

I won't tell you to go to dirtydirty. But I also won't tell you not to.

Yes, those of us that have the ability to burn chips CAN tune your car to run the larger injectors with the stock MAF. I was running 30# injectors on my stock MAF for quite a while.

ok one more question, intake came with a 3/8" phoenlic spacer, is that gonna be enough to clear valve covers? not stock valve covers, some cheap chrome jegs or something. but i think thier stock height. hoping i can install intake next weekend with stock injectors for now till i can buy some 24#

3/8" should work don't forget you will need an EGR spacer as well or to delete the EGR plumbing.
