Re: Few questions "intakes"/ "pistons"

Spookie: Don't forget that using the 3L UIM requires rerouting the vacuum lines, fabricating a TB bracket, fabricating a return line (if return-style), and possibly relocating the battery. It might not be worth it for some people who want an engine that is stock on the outside. They can just buy the Nautilus LIM to transition between the ports and they're done.
Vacuum lines are a piece of cake, TB bracket for a competent person is not difficult and neither is the EGR tube. There is no need for a modded rail.

It's his choice what he wants to do but you can't justify spending quite a bit of money for absoulutely nothing. If he wants to do that and is happy with it, so be it. I'll point out the other side for consideration regardless...

On the SVT cam 'test', what makes one think that the results will favor the 2.5L UIM??
