Hi Matt, if your are going to go with boost that intake would be great. If you have changed your mind about that I'd go with the 2.4 intake for N/A.

Yes it will work. It's more for boost or a highly modded N/A. It and the TB are kind of big for what you are doing right now. My guess is that you wil lose some low and mid range power . More air(or more fuel) is only good if it's needed. Yeah, you will have to tune to use it or even a 2.4 intake. That's about all I know on this. Keep me up to date on what you are doing.

If by JBP you mean J body performance in Canada, stay away from them. They will take your money and not provide any product, or a poorly made/machined one.

That's all I know of. I'm sure there are more out there, but that's all I got. I'm not sure what size throttle body goes with that intake. That intake is much larger than the stock one or the 2.4. The short runners and larger size will push your power band toward the upper RPM. With the Stage 2 cams the power band will also move to the mid/upper RPM. That intake might be a better match for the Stage 3 cams and a good amount of engine work. It would be great for boost. That's not to say it won't work with the Stage 2 cams. I had a good link to some TB's, but I lost it when my hard drive went out. My favorites list was very long and I don't remember what it was.
Long runners make more low end power. Short runners make more top end power. A CAI vs a WAI also falls under this. Though it's not as large of a change.

One more thing Matt. As I said I'm here to learn also and there is not much going on here. I think you can get more and better info on the other site. I will go with you if you want to go. All the big people from this site are on http://www.ecotecforum.com/forums/ now.

thanks nogo. i just registered on ecotecforum, same username so try to find me when you register. btw that patriot head...ive heard some bad things about it.. is it really worth the money.?>? and should i get it bare and buy my own valvetrain??
Re: couple ?'s...

I've heard the same, I read you topics. Yeah, it would be best to get your own valvetrain. The stuff they put on their head would be ok, but you can do better(it will just cost more). I think the porting is good, it's just the parts. They got to make money some how(lol as if they are not charging too much now). I'll be joining over there and will look for you. I'll use the same name also. Those guys are going to blow my help away, so I'll mostly be there for support.
