Mainly from a reliability standpoint not power (but i wouldnt mind an improvement) i want the vic jr intake. I also noticed that it leaves plenty of space in the valley so i was thinking i could do it myself without aquirring another valley tube/ jerry rigging it

I still have the pi intake but it had been burned and repaired with epoxy. no leaks, never had an issue with it, but i thought i might aswell since one of the ports were fried from a nitrous backfire. Just not sure i wanna slap it on the tbird but it was on the cougar for 2 ish years no issue.

I do plan to do cams/ have cams done, just about whatever i can fit in the npi heads for a reasonable price and not doing much more than springs. Im ok without porting the heads or doing serious work if i can get away with it. im actually curious what an npi will do with just some decent cams, intake, and a tune



but yea. on the list of to dos is doing the intake myself, and having a shop install cams/ tune, but right now it is still just an idea because i have a broken window, door handle, sunroof, and a front suspension that isnt as happy as it should be, but eventually
 
That intake will perform absolutely terribly on a NA engine from a day to day drivability standpoint. I’d literally recommend retrofitting a 94-95 npi intake as a better alternative if being aluminum is the sole consideration

Understandable, what about the typhoon? if i could find one... Ill assume i would still need the valley tube from 98+ gt/ nipple
