OK! How the hell is anyone supposed to concentrate on the damn intake with that animal of a woman standing right next to it?!

Seriously, i clicked on the 3 images just check her out, closed the page and then realized that I didn't even glance in the intake's direction.

Sorry, I am of no use to you here. I think i have seen those guys advertise in MM&FF before, that is about it.

Not worth the money at all. I'm personally waiting on any new info for the Trickflow manifold.

Any news on the trickflow? I'm so fed up of waiting for intakes.

Thats the HPS Intake, has been covered here a few times but was only recently released a month or 2 ago...i don't know anyone who has one yet so i haven't had one in my hands. Texas Hot Rods is just a retailer not the creator.

Have you talked to these guys? Did you find out something about this intake? Please let us know if you have.

The HPS should be a good piece. Iv emailed the owner quite a few times back and forth....I was going to buy that, but decided to stop spending money on N/A mods lol. I was about tapped out for the cheaper lv of bolton/ins...after that it would get super expencive.

May be a good upgrade for the GT down the line though....but not for a LONG time.

I emailed trickflow to see if i can get an update

I'm talking about the HPS Hardball'r intake manifold.

You said it was "not worth the money at all" as if you had some personal knowledge of the intake.

The personal knowledge i had was of spending $695 for possibly getting 15hp N/A. Doesn't seem worth it to spend ~$47 per hp. Maybe its just me

Dyno gains don't always translate into performance gains. In fact sometimes a gain on the dyno can make your car perform worse at the track. And the dyno graphs I saw of this intake showed a average 22 RWHP gain.

The only true test with new intakes like this is to take them to the track.

The unfortunate thing is that for N/A guys, especially those who've hit the wall without cracking open the motor, these expensive intakes are the only things left to do.

True, im getting there as well. Not many parts left for me other than a few expensive ones like LT's or Cams. That's mainly the reason why im saving for a blower instead.

Was this on bolt on cars or ones with serious work? 22rwhp seems pretty good when the manufacturer only claims up to 15rwhp on N/A applications
