i believe that the carb manifold with the adapter would probably be better. However, will it help an otherwise stock lo3? maybe not.

i would have to agree the carb intake will be better than the tbi intake, but not significantly for a stock LO3

what kind of cam do you have? list you mods in more detail. Basically though, i think that a cam, and other minor mods and you would benefit. Probably benefit more from better heads though.

LT1 cam and springs
projection 670cfm TB
3" no cat exhaust
headers
open element airfoil
a/c delete and smog

i know i would see more performance from heads. but i need to know if there is a big difference in between the 2 intake manifolds. i would like to know if there is more gain or less gain from each. and why is the TBI intake manifold soo much money? just wanna know the specs on each.

Re: EDELBROCK INTAKE MANIFOLD--->TBI OR CARB????

ill have to agree wit them and say the carb manifold and the diff is the tbi one is just a aluminum stock manifold that flows a lil bit better flowin and the carb one has plenium area that distribute the fuel/ air mix better

ps id recommend the non EGR one too because it has a taller deck height
