i see what you are saying here, its kind of how i have my slant six set up based towards torque than horsepower. the 273 does need a boost in the low end department. would the sp2p be a noticeable change from the stock two barrel? i just dont want to have basically an aluminum 4 barrel intake that is comparable to the stock 2 barrel. also whats the rpm range on the intake. Thanks for all of your guys knowledge and experience it has truly pointed me in the correct direction
