Just a heads up, be prepared for some frustration when lining everything up—took me a couple of tries! But it’s rewarding once you get it set.
Haha, I can relate! I almost threw my tools once, but then I remembered it’s all part of the process. Support from others helps!
It’s true! Every installation has its quirks. Just take your time and don’t rush. You’ll be cruising with that new manifold in no time!
I’ve recently installed the Holley LSX 454 intake manifold, and I must say, it’s a beast! The fit was perfect, and it really improved my throttle response. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for performance.
Glad to hear that, lclark! I’ve been looking at the Edelbrock Performer intake as well. It’s supposed to be a good blend of power and streetability. Has anyone tried it?
The Edelbrock Performer is solid, but I found it a bit lacking in high RPM power compared to my friend’s FAST manifold. Ultimately, it depends on your goals for the build.

That’s good to know! I’m aiming for a street-worthy build with some kick, so maybe I should consider the FAST option instead. Thoughts?
I had the FAST intake on my setup, and it was awesome. The airflow is incredible, but it might be overkill if you’re not pushing your engine hard. Overall, it’s a great investment for performance.
Sounds like a solid choice, Michelle! Any installation tips? I don’t want to run into issues during the process.
Make sure to have quality gaskets and follow the torque specs closely. A friend of mine had a leak because of improper installation. It can save you a headache down the line!
I was leaning towards the LSX from Holley, but I’ve heard mixed reviews on it holding up under boost. Is that something to be concerned about?
I’ve seen people run boost on the Holley LSX without much trouble, but it really depends on your engine setup. Just make sure your tuning is spot on!
That’s reassuring! Fanderson, do you think I should upgrade the injectors if I go that route?

Absolutely! Better injectors will ensure you get the right fuel delivery under boost. Don’t skimp on that part; it’s crucial for performance and reliability.
