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!!!

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

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... [ December 04, 2006, 03:19 AM: Message edited by: kingmoochr ]

More HP up top and less torque down low. You are going to have to rev your car higher to feel the power. [ December 04, 2006, 02:10 PM: Message edited by: 92stangLX ]

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.
