Wow, I thought everyone would be all over this...

Stock TPI will limit you engines potentional. Search this forum, and you'll save me a lot of typing.

My guess is you'll run strong, but you're losing mega-power-potential with a stock intake.

Sell the TPI, then look for mini-ram, Holley Sleathram, Accel Superram, etc, intakes.
