    The 87 intake is going to give you better results and flow better than the 84/85 intake

    DMAC, can you REALLY tell a difference in the car. I have been on Mark's bandwagon for a while. I have done two conversions and I can HONESTLY say it was worth it. The first is still HOT. It has a 87 intake and accesories. It also has 40lb injectors with 2 Red's XP pumps, 204/214 cam, mildly ported heads and a old TA49... Oops forgot about the 50hp NOS. This car now is a beast... Waiting on the E85 chip. Car has ran 12.0's on a BAD tune and worthless Drag radials. The other is a 4.1 and I cant get my friend to bring it back to me... He is afraid for me to do anything to it. I think he is SCARED of it. Going from a 15.9 to screaming 12.75 on low boost (16lbs) has him in DEPENDS:eek:. The torque of the 4.1 is unreal...
