HI Glen, I hope you had a nice New Year. There is a pretty good bit of information on here about ther FIRST system, I think if you will go into the alternitive intakes section and do a search you will find the information you need. I know that some of the members on here use it and seem to have great success with it, so im sure they can give you some insight. I am building a project using a Mini Ram and think it will work well for the combo I have set up. What set up are you using now?

Maybe you can send him a PM, yea that system looks really cool, sort of like a TPI hulk.....lol. I think they are max moollaa though, but may be well worth the cost, I cant tell you myself though. I would even look into some good headers before that because you will really need to evacuate you exhaust before you need to put some good induction on it JMO....

Yeah, if you do a search there's some pretty good info on TGO about the FIRST intake. BadSS has some very good info about the intake, as he has run it on his motor in comparison to several other intakes.

I too believe it to be a great street intake.

No, really it's just you Yanks that are backwards, we just have to fix any American cars that are brought over, that's all.

HAHAHA!! OK then, that's not quite so bad, you guys are only backwards because of America anyway, so it's not your fault.

Just do a search under FIRST and his user name. He's posted about all the info that there is. The quirks of the install, flow ratings, power curve, etc....
