The key to getting more power will be removing the plastic intake manifold/plenum and replacing it with an aluminum/metal one. After that, you can determine whether you want to go

I'm interested to see what kind of gains the VQ37 would see from a bigger intake manifold.

Bigger does not alway = better. Just making the runners bigger might yield a gain up top but would most certainly hurt us with low to midrange torque (something that's already lacking). What we really need is some type of variable intake manifold.

Obx doesn't make the best products. Hence why it's cheap

With other tuning solutions out there now that support VVEL tuning, you may end up getting what you want. It just takes time. As few 370s as there are out there, it's not a cost effective use of r&d time and money at the present.

The aftermarket is there, it's just focused on FI solutions since that's what people are willing to buy. Would you pay thousands for 50whp from NA parts if the same thousands could get you 100whp+ with fi?

I went back and forth on NA and FI so many times I just gave up and went for broke. 300-325whp just won't cut it with me...I get bored too quick. I had a '91 Mustang (dd once in a while) that went 120mph in the quarter mile and it got boring. This ultimately made my decision since once I buy headers, intake mani and 4.08 gears I would be stuck selling them for a loss in the classifieds if I was unhappy and went with FI. I can make all the power I want without the extra cost of those items going with a TT.

Other than the TT I'm getting a LSD, clutch/flywheel, radiator and an oil cooler. After that it's just some less pricy parts like gauges and such. Yes, it costs WAY MORE than FI but when I'm done I'll know if I go any further the stock motor can't stay stock and, hopefully, I'll relax and drive my car. Besides, my wife is only so tolerant .
