will accel base/LTR benefit a LB9 engine that much?

I plan on moving to a 350 this summer but if I install this combo on my 305 will I see any benifit? Or will I just kill the whole purpose of a 305? I know that the TPI was developed w/ a 305 in mind but what is the actual outcome of installing the accel combo from the group purchase on a 305 TPI? Anyone w/ personal experience?

James

I would just wait and install those parts on your 350 this summer. The whole process of installing a new intake probably won't be worth the gains it will do for your 305. But that is just my opinion. I'm sure that the high flow intake parts will help your 305, but I just don't think it will help that much.
