To be fair, you're debating parts that will all add within 5whp of each other. Don't stress too much about it.

I have no complaints or regrets by adding the F.I. RHFC.
the question is the sound difference between the Res. vs non res.? any input? why did you go with the resonated?

HFCs and a tune will run you about the same cost as LTHs by themselves, and you'll get a lot more value out of it.

yah i am absolutely going for a tune after my HFCs, and since that will be my last bolt on, I was debating whether or not to go LTH or HFC.

seems like HFC and a tune will do the trick for me. then ill just work on getting some summer tires.

I'd look into the Motordyne intake manifold as well. You won't gain much, if any, peak power but you'll gain a lot of area under the curve.

That looks pretty nice, but a bit expensive compared to the 500 price tags of those berk and FI HFCs. but thanks you for the recommendations

It's about $500 as well the last time I looked.

Would you care to shed a light if you own or know of the stillen to be a better or comparable product?
Nope. Just saying, you missed Stillen.

Because the intake manifold is an easy swap, and HFCs can take much longer.
