What do you guys really think about this mod??? Is it really worth it???
If so, how come ZZP is the only one with it. I've been thinking about getting one of these just to keep me happy until my tranny and turbo come... I hear these work well with Turbo's also, so I wouldn't have to take it off like with me headers and CIA...I want to run a Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo w/ a HP T66 compressor and a .82 AR. with this

The only thing holding me back was the sealing issues along with the low end loss. Headers (no Boost). Although, I don't really know what that feels like because the car always had headers from day one. (SLP)

so please let me know what you guys think??? I'll stop my rant...

Made a huge difference on a 2000 Buick LeSabre in conjunction with a PCM, so I thought it was worth it. As to why know one else has one, no clue.

How was the sealing?????

havent heard of sealing issues myself. after all it is a insert under the stock UIM. As for why no else makes it who knows, certain comanies choose not to make things, ZZP is the onlly one in the process of making aluminum heads, why no one else is doing it, who knows?? witha turbo though i think that would be a good mod but the aluminum l26 UIM i heard slows much better. But i could be wrong.

Would a L26 UIM bolt up directly??? I'm not really sure what you mean by "slows better" can you elab on that ?

Does it seem with it to you guys... One guy noticed a decrease in MPG's and doesn't the Wbody store well reinforeced ones with aluminum???

Have not had any sealing problems at all, That aluminum one that the wbody store sells is the upper intake, to replace the stock molded ones. The insert goes inside the intake itself. The third version solves the loss of low end power that the second one had. If there is a loss you can hardly tell.

I may in fact give it a shot. If it will work with the Turbo setup I don't see why not...
