Looking around you can get them from Tousley at 713, but I dont see it on their website. I guess you would have to call in your order but ****! That's some sticker shock right there lol

Thats what I don't get. If you are going to do this, do it the right way don't half *** it IMO. You just spent 1k on an intake manifold and then cheap out on the rest of the motor

It's only money, you can always make more lmao. If it proves better gains then the Boss IM with the Single Blade TB then I can see spending a little bit more money on it if your hearts desire (like mine) is a Big numbers N/A motor but man it gets expensive REAL quick!

Main thing that sucks is you lose the front strut brace...but if it gives noticible gains over the Boss intake. Then its not too bad of a price. But definitely not worth the money without heads and cams.

So if you do this intake, cam & heads...ballpark how much increase in HP? Will it all be above 6800? What would this package run? How much for a pro install? Will Peter Parker ever tell Aunt May that he is responsible for Uncle Ben's death? How much wood would a wood chuck...?

Im trying to catch all these Boss intake good/bad threads and now the CJ manifolds as much as possible. Thinking long and hard about these manifold mods. As all other mods its just a lego block to another mod. To me its a stepping stone to do cams, headers etc when money allows. If you're gonna get a tune anyways, how can a Boss manifold be such a bad thing? I mean, 35+ whp starting at around 5500rpms with a Boss manifold and with a CAI/ tune which most of you already have is no joke for another $500?. Im aware of the lower torque #s but how much lower?? If you have an automatic with highway gears that I can understand.. but 4.10s should take care of that right? Just thinking it all out before I do pull the trigger. Appreciate any info on the subject. One more thing, I wonder how many Boss 302 owners are seriously thinking of taking the Boss manifold off there car and drop in the GT manifold due to lack lust low end.. :-)
Just a question...
