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
