ok so...im anxious to drive my car with the new manifold and long tubes on. I went from a GT40 and equal shorties w/ an off road X...to a RPM 2 with a 1/2" spacer and long tubes w/ an off road H.

i have a stock bottom end w/ performer heads and E cam. and all the other standard stuff...

what do u you think will be different...u think its worth the $400 out of pocket i spent??

OPINIONS PLEASE!!!

dunno if it was worth 400, but i imagine you will definitely feel a difference

$400 for a RPM 2 upper, lower, and spacer. And long tubes...H. and 02 extenders.....ok...??

yeah you'll notice the loss of torque.

so it was a bad change....

i think he means loss of torque due to the longtubes-but intake is better imo

really longtubes reduce torque? performance wise, what is the difference with shortys and longtubes?

i didnt mean you overpaid for what you got, more that i dont really think it was worth it. you went to a real high flowing intake and exhaust, so ya, youll lose torque. however you are definitely set to make some power if you throw on a blower

side note-if you still have that intake, i might be interested...

More HP up top and less torque down low. You are going to have to rev your car higher to feel the power.

When are you going to have it back on the road? You might want to keep an eye out for the lazer red 95 vert that will be running around in your area.... new bottom end with a cam and tune in the next month. [Wink]

Ya that intake is kinda big , slap on a power adder or bigger heads and cam
