RustyRatRod's Guide To Hot Rod Bliss

True on the "Used Intake price."
However, spending the coin on a new one is clearly a choice and not a bad one BUT!
What is the goal and do you NEED it to get there.
For basic hot ridding and around town cruise and/or Hwy. driving, do you NEED that intake?

Not having the 4bbl. To start is one thing, all ready having the 4bbl. And building for 300 - 375 hp doesn't require spending a ton of money. But hey, if you really want to, it's your coin!
I often shop here in the FABO classifieds for stuff. As long as the seller is honest and doesn't hide anything, great deals can be found here. I have picked up a few intakes here at good prices. 90% of the forum membership does gouge.

However the compare I was trying to make is what you all ready have vs. brand spankin new. Not classified new.

This thread is part, use what you got because in general terms, it ain't so bad vs. spending a lot of money and probably replacing a part that can do the job with a part that cost a lot with little bennifit or cost effective worthiness.
But if spending on a new intake just because it is 10HP better than the other part is great for your 350HP build, so be it.
