Help me find the umph in my 360

I think the Lokar stuff is one of the biggest frauds ever on hot rod guys. I've seen a lot of it. It's chinsey as hell and it sucks. The factory stuff works far better. You got that right!
I've had just the opposite experience. The Lokar kit installed easily and worked perfectly. If folks have the factory intake, then factory throttle & kickdown would be fine. Few of us have original stuff though.
