I c but can the stock intake mani take the forced induction without complications or what? And if it can should i just try and go for the forced induction ATI pro charge right after my under drive pulleys and e fan, sparks, and wires???

Also, if you do a radix blower, it replaces your intake anyway.
I knew a guy at work that spent ~$3000 on all the little boltons....Hpp3, intake, exhaust, TB, TB spacer, shift kit. etc. He gained .6 seconds in the 1/4 and said he could barely feel a difference SOTP. If you really want to make a difference, stick to things like, cam, forced induction, torque converter. Those mods are harder to do, but they give you more bang for your buck. And they don't cost very much more than all that easy to bolt on crap.

Alright cool so i guess that changes my direction on everything a little bit. I like the idea of the radix and wipple style but ive seen the dyno on that ATI and it blew the comp. out the water, Peek HP and Overall HP gain. So dont mess with the pulley, Keep stock intake mani, now my next question would be heads...or cam work first!??? Or both???? And what applicaton will i need to make the S/C optimized like crazy???

The ATI is really good for peak hp but has lower HP everywhere else in the HP curve. That peak number only happens for maybe 3 seconds out of a full 1/4 mile run. It doesn't matter as much as ATI would like you to think it does. You need a good sized stall to make the ATI compete.

Well i have the MAF now. So i should do some research on that RADIX then huh what type of stall will i need though and will i loose the streetability drive after the convertor. Oh yeah and what Cam would you recomend. And at what boost would you throw that RADIX to and is it capable of having the intercooler, cause thats where i heard that ATI dominates cause of the twin intercooler????? Thanks for your help

A 3000 stall will be very streetable and awesome for the radix. I don't have a cam and don't understand much about them, so maybe someone else can chime in on that.
