Default LT1 intake

I'm looking at upgrading my intake, and have been looking around at some and reading up on what people have had to say about them.

I've looked at the edlebrock in take, and others. Just want a good recommendation on what would be good and gains from it.

I'm shootibg for 400 hp off bolt ons, is this possible, and what am I looking at to get there. I plan on putting pacesetter long tubes, deleting my cats, going with the SLP loud mouth I/II. I have a CAI, and wanting to put the 58 mm. throttle body on this summer, and the next year go internal when I have another car to drive while I pull the motor.

I feel kind of dumb for asking these questions with being around F-bodies my whole life, but I figure the only dumb questions are the ones not asked.

You won't make 400 rwhp with bolt ons unless they include ported & polished heads or nitrous. Don't waste your time with the Edelbrock intake just get another stock one and have it ported.

I have over 400 with the stock manifold...like they said, don't waste your money on anything else...just have your stocker ported by LE and call it good!

+1 for porting the stocker.
You really won't see gains from an aftermarket intake on a stock bottom end (or even with a mild stroker).
