I like the looks of the Banks intake, but it's too expensive. If I had to swap, I would get an Airaid Jr like Coreys, and seal that compartment up tight.

You'll be right on par with my setup. Maybe a little more on the top end with your wider LSA. It's a fun setup, will idle nice in traffic and you'll shut down lots of stock pony cars like Mustangs, camaro SS's and Challenger SRT's. It'll be a stout street setup. Personally if I could change anything on my setup would be my heads. I would look into a set of AFR heads or ET Performance heads. You'll easily be to the 420RWHP mark or more. If you're going to use 243's, please don't let anyone butcher them up with CNC work. Leave them alone and just do a REALLY NICE VJ. Most people do more harm than good porting on the 243's.

the 90mm intake swap on my setup alone was .5 seconds faster from 60-90mph

Scared?

You should really run that thing and see what it does some day.

Not scared, too lazy to drive 3 hours in any direction to go to a racetrack.

Sounds like a stout set up MPFD, must be a blast to drive

I hear ya about driving to the ends of the earth to get to a racetrack Joe...there's nothing close to me either, but I still plan to make some passes once I get my truck back on the road (hopefully some time in this decade lol)
