I was wondering if it would be worth having an alumi intake manifold on an N/A car?
What gains would I notice? I'd have a 62mm smg tb, typhoon sri, and a vibrant cat back exhaust if they'd make a difference.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah it is, N/A means naturally aspirated, until you a a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous you're always going to be N/A.
You wouldn't benefit from the intake manifold without a bigger set of cams and a tune at minimum.
I mean't not really n/a in the sense that I don't have cams, a head, and other upgraded engine parts that improve the performance of the car.
Philly D sold the aluminum intake mani anyways; unfortunately. Thanks for the response though !
Just a little info for someone who searches for this down the road:
If you're buying an intake mani pay special attention to the size of the runners. The longer narrow runners are good for low end torque while the shorter wider runners are good for the high end torque. I think its something like long narrow are good up to 5k or 6k.
The larger the path is for the air to go the slower it'll go, the more narrow the path is the faster it will go because there is less space to fill.

It wouldn't help you with power anyways, then again it wouldn't hurt your performance like your t/b is doing right now.
