That is what I am leaning towards right now, again thank you everyone for the information and keep it coming if there is more out there. I will be working with a local shop pretty soon to get the stroker kit installed once that is done I will need to start thinking about the intake manifold.

Well the pics certainly convinced me not to purchase aam products. I for one, am tired of incompetent people and it seems like there are more and more of them in the world!

This is really good information, I am currently running about 500+, once I finish the e85 install which will be in a few weeks I will bump it to about 650. Then in about a month or so I will have the stroker kit and stuff installed so I can bump it to 700+. I will just keep doing research for now and keep an eye on this thread for more information. Thank you all again for the input.

CJM is working on a neat manifold.

CJM Billet Intake Manifold

I had a positive experience with AAM Competition they even went out of their way to help me out with my Z. I had a excellent experience with their customer service and products as well. It just depends what vendors you favor to each their own I say. If you plan on going FI I would definitely consider the AAM Competition VQ37 Performance Intake Manifold would be worth installing and is a quality intake manifold and not worth installing NA in my opinion. If you plan on going NA the Motordyne or Z1 intake manifold would be a better choice in terms of whp and wtq to be cost effective. I wonder what the CJM billet intake manifold will have to offer? I think the CJM billet intake manifold will be worth waiting for!!

Complete horseshit. You've absolutely not seen any of the pictures of what they shipped out to people. It's some of the worst casting you'll ever see, and they do no cleanup.

You really need to give less bad advice.

Also, the from what I can see, the insides weren't even cleaned up. There are left over aluminum flaps right by the intake inlets.

Yup, totally worth 2 grand...

dayhkr · 04-30-2019, 01:17 PM

That does look cool I hope that one makes it to market and works.

JARblue · 04-26-2019, 05:51 AM

If you go AAM, make sure you inspect all runners. They've been known to ship out 90% blocked ones made from a bad mold

Wtf, AAM actually had the balls to bring this to market in this condition?

Yep. That's a piece they shipped out to a customer. I do believe it was sent back and fixed or totally replaced, but that never should have gone out in the first place.

He’s not on their payroll. He just likes supporting the worst vendors in this community. He’s also over in the Evo-R thread with Jay’s **** all the way down his throat. He hasn’t been here long enough to see all of the ******** these guys have pulled, but he thinks he knows enough to make a recommendation.

Just say "NOOOOOO" to AAM. Don't buy that junk.

NorthStyle · 04-27-2019, 02:56 PM

Seriously, with that flashing how can there be any mention of quality control other than there being a serious lack of it. Even worse, because the manifold comes from a mold this most likely wasn't the only example of this.

As for it making power, I honestly don't remember anyone showing it made any. One forum member posted a Dyno with it, but he had the manifold done along with other mods at the same time and the numbers he produced weren't any higher than a typical FBO car (his was NA as well). I don't recall seeing any FI cars running this.

Just throwing another option out there. This is mad expensive and doing the GTR conversion would be the better choice.
