Which Intake with a 224 cam?
Which Intake with a 224 cam? Hello. My buddy is putting a 224/224 .561/.561 112 LSA in his 98 A4 Bolt on TA. He currently has a BBK Intake and a P/P TB from New Era. Which intake would see the most HP/TQ? I think he'd be fine with the BBK, but would there be any benefit switching to a FAST 78? I think a FAST 90 would be overkill for a small cam. Also, he has my old 2000 heads going on to. UNTOUCHED heads, not ported, not polished, just bolted on. So basically a 2000 "Cam Only" car. Which intake do you guys think? Thanks.
EDIT: He has a Weiand Intake. Not a BBK. Does that make any difference? Thanks.

Well the most HP/TQ would be the 90/90 but it would be marginal over the 78mm setup. IMO if he's sticking with a little 224 cam then the BBK or LS6 is all you need. No sense spending $1K to gain only 10 or so HP on a smaller cam-only car.
You don't think the 90 will lose a little over one of the smaller intakes? From what I've read it seems like the FAST 90 is overkill. Also what would the gains be from a BBK vs FAST 78. Is that a close call too? Within +/- 5 HP?
I do not like any of those intakes, but for a mild mod car, they will work just fine. There are realy better things to spend your money on then any of these intakes.

I would just run an LS6 if I were on a budget which sounds like you might be. But on a side note throw some .040 gaskets when you have the heads off and than he will see a decent gain in power switching heads.
