    With new engine soon to be going into car the question of intake manifolds. Slimjoker had a custom one made which I'm sure a member here has in their car (if you read this contact me please you have the intake I have the motor).

    Ie intake is available but controversy as to performance gains and seem to be little support on tuning? Any other info feel free im interested

    And then HPA. It seems most are looking for a tuning option for intakes. Seems HPA has solved that issue w this new option on their site. Interesting numbers provided on link. Anyone having gone this route lets here your input. This would be anyone with excessive wallet space since it seems $2500 price tag is quite hefty.

    Now I've been informed that issam had made a few, haven't seen any updates on his site for availability. He sent me to SEM who well let's just say were not helpful at all. Won't get into details.

    So let's put up some info.

    GTX 2867. Unless someone wants to scoop it up for price of new since its in original box and I can step into something else. But plans are to just use what I have an hope for the best. The motors got all the fancy things most would want and I'm sure the motor itself will be nice. I'm just unsure if putting money into an upgrade intake will be worth it.

    HPA states now 40 ft lbs tq, and 30-50HP gains on there site. If anyone's got some proof of this really I know it's pricey but the intake as is $949. So clearly it's just brought curiousity to me. Searching for intake info didn't really bring up much info. I know IE had a group by/pre order. But where did they all go and how isn't there much info on gains? Other then ppl saying there wasn't much gained from it.
