The picture posted from Camarodream is actually my intake that I posted a while back. As far as gains it was through the whole curve not just a peak number. A must have IMO.

So without heads, the rod mod isn't really worth much?

I am looking at the GPI Intake manifold. Around $500.

Negative. I still have stock heads and there is a gain there.

I saw a picture on the g8 forums.. Pretty much they debur the intake's ports and then the rods create a better way for the air to flow into the port. Instead of the air pinching itself off on the outsides of the port as air is being sucked in, the rods guide the air into using the entirety of the port. I wish I saved the picture...

I'm wondering what I could get out of it being cammed but having stock heads.
