Default Intakes.

I'm moving to a MR simply because I am concerned that the mid range is going to suffer with a SR.

However, here's the intake I REALLY want. I'll be scavenging parts here and there since they are expensive. I'll buy them used until I get what i need.

SO the MR is a temporary condition.

Comments?

Once you get the Mini, you will not want anyting else. It is way overpriced, but it got me more et per dollar than any other mod I have.

There's nothing better on a C4 the an Edlebrock dual plane intake and a nice 670 Avenger Holley, Hp goes from 260 to 330HP and screw the computer.
ps. I had to put roller rockers 1.6 on the intake to get those readings

Nothing kills resale value like putting a carb on a C4.
