Santa came early!!

Yep he came to my house today while I was at work. Guess he couln't get inside so he left me a couple of packages on the porch.

Man these runner are huge compared to stock. Can't decide whether I want to paint or leave natural. Note in the last pic that the throttle body can be mounted from the side instead of the front. Pretty cool setup I think. I hope this will be a much better match for my cam. Can't wait to get started! I might add First seem to be great to work with.

Hey guys

Here's their website. http://www.firstinjections.com/
As best I can tell they team up with http://www.affordable-fuel-injection.com. I think first manufactures the intake and AFI handles the electronics. Both sell the complete setup. Ken at First is very good to work with and will tirelessly answer my questions


Factory electronics will work fine. The runners are 1.75 ID! They are cast so no dings and can be ported to up to 1.9.

I hate you! lol

I'm dying for a set of those things......................someone must dyno that setup vs. a conventional factory style tpi and get me numbers. I will stay tpi vs. going with the vortec stealthram if the First stuff is all its cracked up to be..


later

Anyone remember the Vector? Domestic "exotic" car back in the late 80's-early 90's? The '91 Vector W8 ran the FIRST setup on a rear-mounted twin-turbo 427 making 625hp. It's supposed to be one hell of an intake.
