BBK SSI

[Strype]

waiting on adjustable fpr should be done this week. Comes with cheap bolts for fpr adapter we snapped both already, fuel lines r forced against valve cover and alternator, have to move map, must have cowl, other than that good thus far

I swear to god if the bottom plate on the lower leaks oil... If it works it will all be worth it tho.

Is yours the revised lower?

 

[Strype]

not that I know of.


Will any aftermarket fpr work with this intake? I thought I heard Brian say that the stock FPR wouldn't work. I might cancel my order and get a BBK instead. Anyone got an idea as to what I should do with the fuel rails? I put an old hose around them but it is still sitting against the valve cover

Before you finish your install you might wana get with BBK and see if you have the newer lower. It seems the first run had fuel leaks where the injectors fit in. It would suck to get it together and set it on fire

 

[Strype]

It would suck for them

 

[LaserSVT]

Cause you would hunt them down and rape them?

 

[Strype]

Well it seems that we forgot to put RTV on the bottom plate of the lower intake. I guess I will be taking it back apart.


I should have bought a Cobra or GT40

Has anybody looked at the price of aftermarket intakes lately?

Trickflow Track Heat = $523.99
Edelbrock Performer RPM 2 = $639.99
Holley Systemax 2 = $614.99
BBK SSI = $569.99

How the hell do you consider the BBK unit expensive?

BTW, I have a friend with one and he likes it. Never had any problems with it.

I myself, don't have a lot of confidence in BBK stuff though...

Cobra Intake 409.95

 

[Kevins89notch5.0]

worst looking intake EVER!!!!

 

[NIKwoaC]

Cobra Intake 409.95

Ha, yea but you can't even compare the "new" Cobra intakes to the ones I listed above. Made in China and notoriously poor build quality. That and technically the Cobra intake manifold is a replacement part, where the others I listed above are true aftermarket.

Edelbrock Performer 3821 = $530

Not only $40 cheaper but you can reuse your own regulator/fuel rails, you won't need a cowl hood, and it probably performs at least as well as the BBK SSI without the worries about fuel leaks.
It won't win a beauty contest but if you prefer function over form, you won't care anyway.

I'm just pointing out that the BBK is by no means "overpriced" when you compare it to similar intakes.

The MSRP was $569 which I thought was high too untill I saw it includes fuel rails and a fuel pressure regulator

The one with the fuel rails and regulator costs almost $800

? No it isnt. MSRP is $569 for the intake with rails and FPR
