Difference in 78mm and 90mm? Im looking into getting a FAST intake manifold...it comes in 78 or 90mm...
What I'm thinking is obvoiusly go with the 90mm b/c more airflow allowed in...thus more hp? Is it really that simple? Somone please explaine the differences and gains/losses a 78 as compared to a 90mm has.
btw I plan on making up to 600rwhp with the addition of n2o if that really matters.

But more to the point the 78mm isnt exactly cheap, so I say spend the $$$ once and get the 90mm, but do not get the FAST 90mm tb, Too many issues with the Blade sticking after hard WOT runs. Nick Williams makes a nice one. My friend has a 01 T/A with a 402, FAST 90mm intake and NW TB, ran high 10's and is expected to be a easy mid n/a this spring.
