Well, at least that other guy was. But I'll use this opportunity to jump on the subject.
I just read in the latest edition of "Vette" magazine about the "Renegade" replacement intake manifold for the L83 engine. The blurb in the mag states that it made an additional 30rwhp gain on a modified 383. Now I get that 30rwhp would probably translate into a 40-45hp pick up at the flywheel, but seriously? Only 30hp on a modified 383??? Given the inherent weakness of the factory L83 intake that seems terribly underwhelming for a modified stroker motor. Hell, I would expect about 30hp gain on a bone stock motor without that crap-tastic factory intake. Anybody else surprised by this?
