The cheapest route is the Lt1 intake though. that Mini ram is far from cheap. Doing your comob once and having it tuned once and leaving it alone is the cheap way to go too. No point in going stand alone except to get rid of the batch fire setup and wanting the ability to grow. My boss and a cutomer both have "L98 vettes"
The customer has a 400ci motor with a dart block and pretty much all the best internals too. It has the 225cc AFR, the Mini Rim, very healthy roller cam with AFRs hydra rev kit. BBK throttle body, 36# Accel injectors, long tubes with 1 3/4" primaries, Plus uses FAST for a tuner. It went 11.8 running outta fuel with 30# injectors witht he stock 2.73 gear and a the stock 2.25" rear y pipe. As soon as it gets retuned again and he has the money for it, hes going to do a NOSzle system witha 200 shot on top of it. shoulld net him low 10s easily.
My boss setup which has been sitting on a stand for a 3 years is a 421ci motor with AFR 255cc with the bigger valves and competition port job, Mini ram intake, 42# injectors, Any even healthier roller cam with the hydrda rev kit, plsu all the other goodies with FAST for a standalone as well. Hes going to the NOSzle system sometime but probably 150 shot. He is limited by his block. Its a factory 400 block with good internals.
Both will have good street manner and run a built 700r4 tranny with dana 44 rear ends
