I would say it would be overkill for stock heads etc,
You would have a noticable torque loss low down i would think.

If you want a better intake that will perform good with the stock heads, then go with any of the GT40 intakes or the TrickFlow STREET Heat. Also, only stick with either a 65mm or 70mm TB, 75mm is unnecessary for a stock or slightly modified engine.

Hope that helps ya!

Wait and save up to do the H/C/I together. To be happy with the performance you will need to have each component matching and complementing the other - need to specify what your targeted horsepower goal is to best identify the right pieces. Your chosen intake and TB on a stock long block would not match well at all or perform to your expectations.

If you want the Track Heat and know you're going to get it, go ahead but don't install it till you get the heads and cam to match it. The Track Heat, if installed without the other complimentary components, will lose some low end torque.

Dont but the GT40s...just save up and buy the Trick Flow kit, you'll be much happier. I know it gets really hard to just wait but it'll be worth it...I got turbos, intake, cam, pump, tb, and a whole bunch of stuff but i havent put it on cause i need to get some other parts still. I know it sucks
