Actually made a whopping 5rwhp and 12rwtq increase lol. I had the infamous intake leak in the back. Stock intake has been off the car 3 times for the same fix. Once by the dealer with only 5k miles, once by my dad and last by my dad and myself (with the edelbrock installed). Leak has finally stopped. We followed all the tricks before and it still leaked. I swear the casting of the stock manifold was off.

Pricey for the performance gain but I just wanted a new piece since I was tired of the damn leaks. A regular new LT1 intake would prob have done fine but at how much? Plus I wanted to test it out because everyone was curious about it.
