Re: wanting more hp.

stealth ram would help out a lot I would think. Specially if your running a stock TPI set up. I'm running an Elelbrock set up on my car.

I would swap it out...or do some major porting on your stock set up.

Re: wanting more hp.

From what I've heard they rob you of a little low end torque while opening up the upper rpms and shifting the power band. Your intake is definatly your choking point as it sits right now though. I went with slp runners and had the plenum, runners, and manifold ported and I'm happy with it. There is a write up some where around here that campares different intake set ups. The stealth ram and my set up were dead even I think in terms of hp.

Re: wanting more hp.

Yea I'd get it or port your TPI. Mine is currently being installed as we speak. You can find it a lot cheaper than the price though through summit or jegs. A member here is selling a brand new polished one for 550 or get the regular one for under 400 w/I fuel rails
