indy inatke manifold
#11
I wounder what mine would do at the strip seeing ya'll hitting 13's and high 12's on all motor. I got the #18 cam, 60mm throttle body, port-matched stock plastic intake manifold (it does do better all around than the INDY), 12.1:1 compression, the only thing i don't have is the LSD and the NOS. but I do also have the anti-friction coating on all my bearings and pistons.
On a side note, porting a aluminum sohc intake manifold may be another alternative for those of you allergic to dohc You could open the the tb neck up some and remove the fuel injector humps where the runners meet the head. You could adapt a 60 to work on the aluminum intake manifold more securely, than the plastic.
Before you go throwing mods/money at your car, has it been determined that you need it? What is your A/F gauge reading at WOT? What throttle body are you using now? mtx or atx? Has your neon been tuned?
Also, you should analyze your launching technique. You are not breaking axles due to your engine output, but how you are applying this at launches.It is the difference between shutting a door ,and slamming it.

INDY FTL, get a custom manifold made. You'll have better gains, looks better, easier install. Indy is good for turbo guys but not N/A.
The biggest install problem is that the bolts between the runner are very hard to tighten down because most sockets won't fit. Many people grind down the runners some just to tighten these bolts.

you'll pay around $450 his very best long runner manifold. This will also eliminate the 90 degree u-turn at the throttle body that the indy doesn't address.
