Budget's around a grand. If given the choice, would you guys go with a cheaper intake setup or the Motordyne manifold? From what I understand, the manifold on a stock car gives big midrange gains.

Definitely going with HFCs to stay legal and open up the exhaust a bit.

I wouldn't recommend changing the IM without tuning. You will almost definitely gain mid range but lose top end without tuning.

HFC's will net gains similar to TP's. Again, if you are leery of rasp, get resonated HFC's.

Thanks. Didn't realize you needed tuning with the manifold.
