I wanted to for the longest time but cams are a waste on a 2v IMO

Thanks for the price info. I forgot about needing the intake too. Do pi and non PI intakes use the same throttle body? Or are they different? And if I could get all the stuff locally that would be nice if I were to be doing all this stuff.
