how much does a ported intake really do in terms of hp/tq opposed to stock? Anyone have any numbers or experiences with these? And should it be mated appropriately with a throttle body?

If that is REAL chrome, that bitch is going to get nice and heatsoaked. I bought a chrome oilpan once, NEVER again will I buy ANYTHING chrome. That thing stayed hot for ever.

Well ported intakes really do a whole lot of nothing basically without a decent set of heads. and an aftermarket throttle body really isnt needed til you start making 375-400hp.
If you just want it for show, id say go for it, but if your looking for it to take off 2 tenths in the 1/8 or 1/4 your best bet is to look other places.

gasket matched intakes are stupid, they should be precisely matched to the heads you have on the car. and a full second off the quarter? i dont think so... nice sales catch..not.

Sounds good, looks like I will probably not buy it then. I still want a little more out of my car for now. I am getting ready to go to school and don't have the money for cam/heads etc... After the LT's I will probably just get a tune and call it good for now.

Nope I have this ported intake....
Buy that one if you want bling. However, if you want a power gain you'll need to do other things first. If I were you I'd have my intake ported by the guy that ports your heads.
