Default High Performance Dorman intake manifold

Ok, so maybe it's not a high performance intake manifold but I saw this thing while dinging around on Ebay. Looks like Dorman makes an OEM replacement intake manifold for our trucks in the event we were to break ours. It looks to have a slightly larger plenum volume, longer runners and possibly a 2 piece design (easy to port). This could be a cheap performance upgrade if someone was up to it.

Any thoughts or ideas???

I didn't realize there was a trailblazer specific intake manifold. Has anyone ever done testing on it?

looks like longer runners to me, so wouldnt that translate to a little more lowend? might be good for a tow rig...but i would like to see some kind of testing before dropping 317$

This is the 78mm Trailblazer intake, not the 90mm

Looks like a square port intake too, not cathedral.

But it looks like it has some potential as a 2 piece design.

I just glanced at the gaskets... You're right.

I don't think it would gain much or any over any other truck intake... Personally
