Yep, get the fel-pro intake set, and you will be all set. Be sure and torque the plenum bolts in proper sequence, and don't forget the blue lok-tite.

The updated one from the dealer is also a good choice. You'll also want the block-to-manifold gaskets.

The Hughes FI-AirGap came with "Made in India" gaskets.

Definitely get a set of Fel-Pro.
