I think he's missing the word "me" after the word "tell".

The throttle response is great.......no more of that delay reaction from gas pedal to TB........The tranny is still the same...LOL. Even my exhaust sounds a little different......

Can't wait to install the Vararam and the Magnaflow exhaust system when they arrive.....

Can you tell a power difference from these? How much did it cost?

He is doing the TB and Intake right now (or was) for 350.00, and a 550.00 core charge. I sent my core back to him today via Fedex....I can feel a difference in the acceleration.....and throttle response......I am waiting on some other parts before I go get retuned......

Looks familiar! Now if I had known you were timing us Dave, we could have actually hurried!

Very easy install and gone are the old small block chevy days where changing an intake manifold meant a big mess with coolant everywhere and silicone gasket maker! Gotta love the Gen III and IV engines!

Here you go.

Done and roadtested. 1st off the car hooks best at 36-37 psi. Now on to the review. I ask that anyone that purchases this from FasterProms DO NOT POST pics of the porting. Extensive work is done to these intakes and unless Jeremy or Dan says its OK, I sat its NOT. It wouldnt be fair to them for someone to try and rip-off their hard work. Tip in throttle is fanastic! Throttle response in genereal is AWESOME! Doing M3 runs from 30mph to 6200rpms will shock you on the acceleration. Keep in mind my car is highly modded, but I did drive it before and after and this is why the air pressure was listed first! :) Fantastic product that met all expectations. Just think it hasnt been tuned for this or the headers yet. Total install time with posting, cigarettes, detail 1HR. Thanks Jeremy!

No ones going to ask, "what's your dog's name?"?
