Intake Manifold for NA Applications
I've been searching for an Intake Manifold that would do well on a NA application. I see that most of these if not all aftermarket Manifolds are for FI purposes. Been reading about AAM and how horrible everyone's experience was at first when they launched 4 years ago. Was wondering if anyone has installed the AAM Intake Manifold on a NA setup and seen results on the dyno or in general. Was looking at the GTR conversion, expensive as balls but looking for power and it's obvious if I wanna make power I have no choice but to go FI. Kinda wanna see what power I can get out of my motor without boosting it. Any advice? Or is it FI or nothing :/

There isn't one. The stock manifold has proven itself over and over against a number of challengers.
Basically, the aftermarket manifolds are not worth the money for NA. The power gains are minimal (or negative). You'll need a lot more modifications to gain anything of note. But by the time you get there, you might as well have considered a basic SC or turbo kit.

I have no plans to go FI, so I decided on a Motordyne M370. Combined with my other mods, I like the power and responsiveness its added.

Granted, the two dynos were on different days, but the only parts difference was ported upper and lower manifolds and retune. Peak power and torque wasn't much but that mid-range gain the real deal.

Yeah I seen his thread. Didn't he swap out the Stillen manifold for the OEM one? Ayee you're gonna SC yours? Excited for you lol, I'm in a huge debate going back and forth if I should remain NA with a ton of bolt ons or SC.. decisions, decisions lol. I personally never wanted my car to be FI but lately I've been really into FI and wondering what it can be lol

Yeah I was siding with AAM until I've read all the bs many people have gone through and the loss of power. If I don't go FI which I never had plans to either, it'd def be Motordyne or Z1 Ported Manifold. Did you tune/dyno yours to see how much whp you're making?
