Your stock lt1 intake mainifold!!! until you are running an insane motor setup the stock manifold will be more than enough. You can have the stocker ported but until you do heads and a cam that wont do much for you.

That wont work with stock lt1 heads. You need some machine work done to make it fit. and with a stock heads and cam car you will see no gains at all.

Internally the LT4 intake is the same as the later LT1 intakes so if you are reading anything that says it is an improvement you are reading a bunch of BULL.

Sofar with the little objective measured comparison we have available the Edelbrock intake is a joke.

For the internet to work for you you will first have to realize there is more bad info out there than good. There is pretty much nothing from the LT4 that is wortwhile, I know that contradicts probably everything you have read but as you learn you will see it is reality.
