Default Will an intake improve my car

Ice got a 05 a4 vert. Etp 225 heads. G5x3 cam, lg long tubes, vararam, and a finish line transmission beefed up to handle all the hp I will ever need. 3500 precision industries stall converter. currently tuned on dyno at 463.3 hp and 453 torque. I am using the stock ls2 intake and wonder if a different intake will get me closer to 500. Just a number I'm shooting for, just for bragging rights. Any info and advice will be appreciated.

With all that work, it would be silly not to consider an intake. I bet you will pick up 20ish rwhp with a good aftermarket one.

I would put a FAST intake on it. The stock LS2 intake is not the best.

Let me correct my original statement... For some reason I was thinking air intake, not intake manifold. Yes, a FAST is a must at this point. With your work, I would expect 20-30 rwhp on the Dyno, possibly more.

I believe a ported fast would help ,I read many threads before deciding to get one and was very happy with my dyno results last Saturday.
