well thanks for the advice everyone. i think im gonna put my pennies together and run with the setup COMP recommended, seems like it agrees with the masses. as long as im around the 400rwhp mark im happy, a little less is fine.

we will see where this takes me hopefully over the winter i can get everything in order and have a decent setup for the summer, maybe even OCMD .

And for the cheap, a holley stealth ram is what I'm using.. Granted it is ported also.

I know of a guy on TGO that is selling a mini ram for like 800 dollars. Which is a great deal.. I've been thinking about grabbing that and see how my car reacts to it. Then again, its more money that I could be putting towards a blower for the GTO.. Hrmm

i can get a pretty good deal on a holley stealth ram which is what i plan i snatching eventually if there are no cheap mini rams around.

A HSR will work just fine for that comp setup. When you get it I would port match throughout to get the most out of it. Its a good manifold. You will retain some tq and gain some HP. The only draw back could be hood clearance. But I can't remember if that's only with the firebird or camaro. I know its one or the other.

the camaro will clear fine, the firebirds had to trim a bit of the hood bracing.

I knew it was one of them. Nothing a cowl or ram air hood can't fix
