Daz response = yes.

But there are some intakes that are just as good performers as the stockers, so be weary. like suspension parts, anyone can meake a 2 inch lower spring but can they get the spring rates just right for more performance. Well if you arent a mechanic or mechanincally inclined that may be over your head.

I like intakes that are a different design than anything the general has made. Like single planes (Yes the Z28 did have one I know) and the holly mini ram (the fuelie one) and the super ram. It at least lets you know that they are thinking, as upposed to cast molding a stocker that some engine builder ported for them.
