So you're saying it's better to spend about 1200 on cams and valvetrain with out a tune then getting an intake manifold?

no, i just said cams like crower stage 1. $450 or so. either way you will need to retune.

And supporting valvetrain.

why spend $600 on a supporting valvetrain if stock will suffice?

How was the fitment? The reason I ask is I am wondering if the TB was in the same location and all that jazz since my charge pipes are already fitted does the TB sit in the factory location or is it off by some amount? I believe the GE mani puts the TB in a different location but the S2 looks like it sits in the same spot.

No actually my intercooler piping lined up good. I did have to adjust the piping a little in the couplers. I should have bought another coupler to fit the 70mm TB but i didnt. I just stretched the one i had over it. Wasnt to hard.

Other then that it didnt place it to far back at all..
