Save your 500.00 bucks and put it down on a better mod, such as longtube headers. you will see next to no gains bolting that intake on a stock motor.

+1...save the cash for something else. You would really only benefit from a ported intake manifold when doing a heads/cam swap. If the time comes and you do want to do something with the Intake Manifold send yours to LE or AI to be worked on.

+2 on don't waste your time with the Edelbrock intake.
Sell the Granatelli MAF and get a stock one back on there.
58mm TB will be worth power, but not much on stock heads and cam.
The CAI is the first right move you made...now get some long tube headers and exhaust on the car. Then save up for a cam only swap or heads/cam swap.
