nothing is wrong with the manifold. its just a general waste of money unless you have a setup that needs to move a lot of air. hot cam is great for a streetable option.

Sorry to take those good feelings away, but there really isn't much of a flow difference between the two intakes. There's another post that is maybe 2 days old about this same thing. Either way, the stock LT1 intake will flow as much if you port match the heads to the intake runners and port out the front for a 58mm TB. But...it's pretty and red right?

95slvrZ28you just dashed his dreams!! Don't listen to him bro. He is clueless when it comes to f-bods that's why he's a moderator here! I'm sure the set up will work out great!!

slvr, I agree its not the greatest investment, but it will make a difference, especially on a 383. Consider the fact that he already owns the manifold.

actually the lt1 version is silver and then the lt4 one is red, and it actually flows a lot better than the stock one, its has the air gap design which you will get cooler air that is more straight through
