i have the same one. there is some difference but not much unless you open up the exhaust a little more. you will probably have benifited more from some headers. just my opinion...

Agreed. It is a true bolt on in all ways and is perfect for a novice intake swapper. The only thing I can think of doing is bending your fuel lines a bit to reach the back of the TBI unit. Just put a rag over them and use a pair of channel locks and slowly bend them up. I would also replace the EGR gasket as well.
