how much better?

[caffeine]

Depends on the junkyard.

[robertisaar]

fairly cheap, even at my local one, where they rape me on everything possible.

however:

looks like Ben still sells them?

[SwiftDrift]

not to bad, but would a 3400 intake be okay on a 3500 or would it hold it back

[caffeine]

Would probably hold it back a little but hard to say by how much.

[SwiftDrift]

as long as i could still shove a decent cam in it without having to shave out a pound of aluminum from the intake then im happy

Its damn near like asking if you like hearts or spades when playing poker. I could make an argument for either motor.

Are you going to add a turbo?
What RPM do you want to go to?
How much horsepower do you want?
How much do you want to spend?

[SwiftDrift]

i dont need an @$$ load of hp, i need decent torque however. no turbo for me, as i am going to be on a budget.

[carbon]

Everyone is on a budget... that's why he's asking. You make it hard to give you suggestions.
