Exclamation ĦĦĦlsrxt!!! Help decide

Ok i have a chance off getting an LSXRT intake reeeallll good price under $500 good condition , if i get it plan on swaping the intake using 87mm intake (for now)and stock 243s i have in my garage, on my FBO Lq4. The deal is to good to pass up IMO.

THE ISSUE is i still have NO cam! Would the intake+head swap be worth the time and $$$ on a stock cam lq4 for now? I will get a cam near future. I've seen good HP gains on stock motors so i think its worth it, help decide

Thanks PT.net

Don't pass up a great deal. Most people will never have the cash on hand to buy everything they want all at once. Get what you can and build on to it later.

500 is a deal but they don't have too hot a track record in the fitment area. Lots off issues have been talked about on here, so I can only image the whole spectrum. JMO I would not run one after hearing of all the BS..

I have one and the only fitment issue was the fuel rails, injectors and hoses. Kept leaking and the popping off under pressure. Turned into an engine fire. But i can say this intake can survive after 2 minutes engulfed in flames.

Just got mine installed, so worth it. Like stated before dont pass up a good deal. The only problem is the idle issue when it cuts off. But theres a link on here about bypassing the pcv systema dn running to two catch cans, It's post #87 on the following link:
