FWD heads

Do you have to have FWD specific intake to go with the FWD heads? i would think so but i am just asking to be shure.

Yes...

And for the love of G0D, search, this topic has been discussed at least 7 times in the last month.

Pretty sad when G0D is a censored word.

Ok, let me break it down....

You say you've read many of the FWD head topics, in which I know for a FACT I have CLEARLY stated that the FWD intake needs to be used as well as a few others like Doward for example.
Then you come along and ask if this is a need?

I don't get it, It's clearly stated, yet you still asked as if you've read NO information on building a hybrid, then get all pissy when you're called out on this info.

that is what i have noticed, thats why if i see someone post a question that i may have read the answer to like a month or two a go i just answer rather than telling them GO SEARCH cause most of the time the answer is buried under this kind of crap.

Then I might kindly ask that you jump over those threads.. I mean, really, who forced you to click on this thread?

I'm working on a sticky, of the basic bolt on mods for the RWD setup, as well as common questions about using the FWD heads on the RWD block.

Yes, you must run the FWD intake, or a custom unit.
