Reading comprehension has gone to hell on this forum. Is it really THAT difficult to read the ad?

Well, **** head, you could try going to google and searching for "Street and Performance" since they're an aftermarket fuel injection provider. Then you could search their online catalog. Page 61 looks to have the exact intake you're talking about. You probably won't find much searching here, because you're dealing with aftermarket parts that really don't share much at all in common with these cars.

Street and Performance has been around forever. But they're more the kind of supplier you go to if you're building a street rod painted like an easter egg then if you're building a Camaro. Everything they offer is cost prohibitive for the crowd around here. Most people around here think a Miniram at about a thousand dollars is a rip off, and Street & Performance sells pretty much a stock TPI at $3,000.

Re: is this worth it?

I was amazed when i saw that intake. I thought after all the research ive done that ive seen every TPI type intake. This one looks great, Even the plenum looks perfect GM, kinda like those old callaway prototypes. So i spoke to the owner operator of Street and Performance. He couldnt really give my any flow #'s or specific details though. They do all the castings there themselves. I have been torn between FIRST and HSR for my 383 AFR boost build. This could just be my perfect choice. pending some more info of course. But it sure does look Awesome. I also searched the web for info on it, couldnt find anything. If anyone knows of a car or motor build or any info, please post it up. Thanx.
