Yep. Read so much it gets confusing after a while. I have not seen the intake manifolds give the power claimed yet. Rob said the tweaked intakes would give 25hp, maybe he was talking about the big ones, but I think the smaller stock tweaked and I have not seen anyone get 10whp from them. I am very happy with the torque my motor puts out now and it is just that little bit up above. I would be surprised if I was not running lean with just the 65mm SC pulley. I only added 6.6% more boost with the stacked pulleys. hopefully Jerry was right about my need for larger injectors.
