Install intake/TB/MAF now or wait for heads and cam?

[Hawaii-50]

I've had some new parts laying around for awhile (Edelbrock Performer RPM, 70mm BBK TB, and 76mm C&L for 19# injectors) and don't know if I should go ahead and install them now, or wait another 6 months until I get the heads and cam (AFR 165s and AFM N41). It's my daily driver, and something always seems to come up, but I have two free days this weekend. What kind of numbers should I expect with the intake, TB, and MAF, and then together with the heads and cam? Anyone out there have the N41, and if so, how do you like it?

Thanks-
Ted

Honestly, I would wait to install the intake and throttle body until you do the heads and cam, unless you have a manifold leak or something. Bolting an aftermarket intake to stock, untouched heads is really not going to help you out much, it will also take away some of your low end. Thats just my opinion though.

Id do it now, but thats just my opinion...

uh, trust me it will do plenty and be nice and noticeable...


I wouldnt listen to the first guy who posted... you'll see a solid 20rwhp or more with a few hours out of your afternoon

20rwhp? that seems a little high. you will feel a loss in lowend as mentioned, but a nice gain after 3kish.

i would do it all at once. doing the lower intake in the car is a pain in the ass, plus you waste gaskets, ect.

your choice, just dont expect anything major from an intake swap.
