i went with NW 102MM and ftp 104mm speed densty tune to keep my setup ready for future ls3 intake style brake through (vararam vrx or fast new runners...etc)



use this Spectre Performance 9770 4" 22.5° EPDM Flex Boot and you will thank me
Have you confirmed that the 9770 flex boot is long enough when not using a MAF, or long enough when using no MAF but a N2O Plate? Is it smooth inside? Seems like unless you have a MAF, it's going to not be long enough. My intakehoses 4 inch dia 22 deg peice is just over 4 inches long on the top and 6" long on the bottom side. It fits perfect, but I also have a 3/4" Nitrous Outlet plate on it. This is with a PTM 92mm TB and SLP lid. Here's an image using a TSP MAF and I believe an SLP smooth bellow. Not sure if the 9770 much is longer than the SLP smooth bellow?
