The theory is with the shorter runner intakes the car looses torque. This is true in a sense that down low you will sacrifice some but it just moves that to the upper rpm where you want to carry more power for more rpm and keep you in the meat of your power band. If you want to drive Mrs Daisy around 1200-3000 rpm buy a diesel truck lol If you are swapping a cam to sound good in the McDonalds drive through and not beat on the car dont buy supporting mods and get thrashed by 4 valve mustangs. We all have to have purpose in hot rods, daily drivers ( I put 20k miles on my C6 since last July) race cars. Some folks like to put dress up parts and wheels on the car. What ever makes you happy. Me I like a combination I can drive coast to coast and thrash just about anything I come across between point a and b. I can not wait to get this intake on my car!
