Is it a monoblade type TB?

Looks nice btw, FIRST intake looks like a nice LTR setup.

Does the intake maintain the EGR vacuum valve in the center?

Yes, but I couldn't get the tube to the header to work the way the intake has it on the passenger side, rather than on the intake manifold, so I decided to leave it off. I think it was designed off of F bodies and their egr is different from ours.

Looks great, I'm interested on the RPM range, where does it run out of gas? 5000? 5500? more?

Don't know, as of yet. hadn't had it dyno'd yet, and I only took it to 5200, but guessing from FIRST dyno sheet on their web site, I'd bet it'd be about 55-5600, which is similar to my previous dyno on my superram.

That would be superb if it flowed up there...most TPI systems are limited by the length of the intake runners/tubes,not the runner size,unless your running a larger engine,such as you are.Keep us posted how it performs..Im very curious as well!

For a street car, that's plenty.
