Should I pull the intake???

Well after spending all this money on the Firebird it is time to sell it, and the **** ton of parts I have for it.

So do you guys think I should take off my AS&M intake or leave it on?? Do you think I would get more for the car with it or without?? I know a lot of you have built and sold cars so I figure you guys have some insight into this.

I could use the intake for the Iroc since it still has a stock intake.

Swap the AS&M intake onto your IROC since oyu said it can use it, and then swap the IROC's tpi onto the bird. you won't get much mor eif any for having a nice intake on it vs the stock one, so you might as well keep it where it can do the most good.

Hey Val,

Still haven't called you yet, but I haven't forgotten about the scanner.

I say part it out, for your Iroc or if you want to sell it, I'll take it.

You should pull that intake and use it on your IROC. Mods tend to not increase the value of the car at all..
I had $8000+ in my Iroc, and sold it for 4200 with the 6-speed and built 355 engine.

yeah it seems like unless you find someone that knows what you've done and what it is worth you wont get much for it.

Don't fret man. The guy who bought my car is going to sell it now...
The car needs a lot of minor work done, but it does have an awesome motor, & a 6-speed.

I can give you his contact info if you want.

Well, it's too late now. I'm on the path of no return of fixing my car.... again. When I couldn't find a decent car to buy, I just started collecting parts for this one and will hopefully have it going again soon.
