Not that I would be really happy with 380-400 I am just trying to be reallistic in my expections and set to bar low. when I say 380-400 I am also taking into account the loss from my stall and 4:10 gears and my heavy 20" rims with out those factors I would expect at least about 450+ with out those kind of power handicaps. One thing I have learned is EVERY MOTOR with mods is different one will greatly over preform the norm and one will greatly under preform.

True...I you are dead set on the truck intake I would keep the effective rpm range low with shift points near 6000rpm. Something like a reverse split with a 112 110 lsa.

Personally, I would call Richard at WCCH and tell him what your plans are and get a custom spec'd cam. That way you are not stuck with a crap cam that limits you to your head selection.

My goal is to keep it looking as stock as possible and also not wanting to do a lot more fabrication in this conversion I have enough of that with my GTO. But I can always change it later.

so if someone see's your fast 90/90 he thinks you got 30 more hp than with the stock intake and the rest is "stock" to his eyes.....i would say the gain from the intake would be worth it since the onlooker still doesnt know anything past that....

I'm pretty sure it bolts on but you have to get a special harness to connect it all together.
