What will this do for performance?
These intakes make power with boosted motors and 800hp and up!

Guys, this is not my new intake, it's a piece of junk that I found online!

It a polished aluminum box with no engineering whatsoever and some cheesy runners with very bad welding done by Stevie Wonder!

This intake is worth about $12 in scrap metal!

I wanted to see how many of you guys would post your honest opinion on it!

Thanks for participating!

I didn't know you were interested in it! I sold my complete motor to a guy in Nola about a week ago, oil pan to intake and TB, he even bought my whole exhaust system

My new Monster will be done mid April! Just wait till you see the intake thats going on my new motor!
