Soon as I get around to dynoing the car, I'll be happy to post the results. The only thing I changed was the manifold itself. I wasn't looking for a real power improvement but I had the rear intake manifold leak that I swear was due to the stock intake not being "true". The stocker has been off the car 3 times and installed by 3 different people which doesn't quite add up. Next dyno day in my area and I'll throw it on and see what happens.

I wanted to fix it over the winter, while the car was in storage, but the Permatex Product Tech that I spoke with said that the ambient temp in the garage needed to be at LEAST 45-50 for the RTV to cure. That didn't happen until 2-3 weeks ago, and I wanted to drive the car a little, but I despise fluid leaks.
I ordered a gasket set today, maybe I'll fix it the weekend after next...The prediction for here is SNOW AGAIN, for Easter!

SNOW !!!!
I haven't even checked behind my intake yet I might have to. Mine looks like it's been off before, but I don't know when since I only got the car 1000 miles ago, there abouts.

from the looks of the manifold, i cant see how it gains a whole lot, but heh, who ever looked at a set of heads from the outside and guessed how much they flowed?

It's the only "significant" mod I've done. I bought this because I think my stock manifold is not true or is warped in some manor. I've had the rear intake leak replaced 3 times. Twice to fix just that issue and once during the heads/cam swap and it was still doing it. Hopefully I'll pick up a few ponies for fixing this issue. Oil pressure is much much higher now without the leak which is nice. It was never low enough for concern but it should be a bit higher. Again, these will prob not come out to be perfect condition results but I haven't seen any others so maybe it will be useful.
