If I was going to a 416 motor with the fuel to support it also on those ci I would do the F1X You will not run out of blower with this one on the 416 and bigger motor. This is if you are still driving the car on the street also buddy.. Robert

Seen big builds rocking both units. Stangklr just ditched his LME intake for the Frankenstein stating it flows better when you're up there making big power.

At this kind of boost level the intake manifold doesn't really play a huge role unless we're just talking about a peak power dyno number. However they both look bad ***, but I am not in to spending $4000 to just have a nice looking intake on my car.

I would keep the procharger piece and do the v15 or a f1x with that money.

I know of a lot of people that have used LME and are happy with them. I just got a set of heads back from Frankenstein and they look brilliant so I don't think you can go wrong either way.
