Intake, no. Throttle body, yes.

And you are way oversprung with those valve springs and that camshaft. I would get a spring that is rated to .600 so it is closer to coil bind at full lift.

If you're going to do a significant head upgrade then you'll want to grab a better intake such as a fast 90/92/102... or you can send off your intake to TPIS and they will put a 90mm snout on it, which is on par with a fast 90. Then you'll be getting a throttle body with the same opening your intake is.

my tuner said I’ll be fine with my setup, beside i wanted a really aggressive duration for the cam & 660 lift.

Are you changing the camshaft? Because the cam you have is neither of those things.

I would stay away from Advanced Induction.
Quite a few posts about them taking literally months to return heads sent to them for work.
And thats not to mention being unable to get anyone to return e-mail's, calls, txt's, you name it.

I've heard the same. If you have the cash you could go to TEA and use their services.

if on a budget, I personally used Texas Speed and I think they did a fantastic job for the price which was far less than TEA or AI

Ahhhh Mr. Hits, you've been given some great advice on here. If you are looking to change the cam at some point to bigger, I advise to check out the Gen 3 Internal engine section. Also read the stickies regarding the cam in that section.
