    need a pretty well built motor to begin with. if you arent already running good cams,higher compression, GOOD header, it wouldn't really be worth the cost. On an average to above average street/strip buildup there are plenty of good manifold/tb combinations that will make close to if not as much or more power than an itb setup without some of the drawbacks of ITB's.

    you're welcome. Unless you are doing a pretty serious track build or want the "bling" factor for car shows, penis insecurity, etc. then it's something I would only do as the very last thing.
