its just that a cam would be a way bigger gain than an intake manifold, for about the same money.
Great info md420 and Sac.

we are entitled to our opinions of course, but if you think hydro lock is a myth.. thats fine.. but i have seen the cars getting new motors at my freinds shop, and ive seen some of them there more than once,,,cars disapear in the puddles here, where i live. people that live in the snow dont want to lower their car, cool, i personally dont care for the risk of cia over shortram... for less than 0.5% power difference

booo. hydrolock is overrated.
even if you are sucking up water at every puddle, it wont hydrolock your car. its in and out of the engine so fast it doesnt matter. youd have to be driving with the filter submerged for it to hydrolock.

So your saying not to bother upgrading the I/M when switching to a stage 2 cam and valvetrain? which is what I said.

Well im sure your correct, but I still reckon there would be more of an increase using a skunk2 mani and uprated cam rather than a port/polished stock mani and uprated cam however small it might be. And just to add my s2 mani cost me peanuts, far less then any cam would of cost so I reckon it was worth while in my case, and certainly will be when I upgrade cam/valvetrain.
