    FR500 Intake. is it worth it?
    Hey all,

    I'm thinking my next mod has to be a proper intake. I'm leaning towards buying the FR500 Short/long runner intake. For those that dont know, the FR500 intake has the following characteristics:

    made of magnesium
    dual runner design (long runners longer than stock; short runners are direct port design maybe 4" long and are activated by a switch @ about 4k)

    Questions are:

    How would this benefit my motor?
    Given the info in my signature, what kind of HP/TQ returns could I expect?
    Is it worth the $2000 asking price (what i'm guessing i'll get it for next spring)...

    Thanks all,
    Chris

    Only one way to find out Chris....strap that bad boy on there. Personally, I would save about $1300 and just put a shot of nitrous on there. Isn't that why you forged it. :D
