Does a weight savings of 20 pounds on a 3800 pound car really make any measurable difference?
Not really.
Other than being easier to lift into place during assembly i can’t see any real advantage.
I’d go with the better performing cast iron factory intake over a lackluster aftermarket aluminum intake every time.
