Default F/I and plenums

I plan on installing the Vortech in satin trim very soon and will have to remove my kinetix V1 plenum. Will there be any advantage to using the crawford plenum over the stock plenum with the F/I? TIA

I bought the Crawford plenum because I was installing the Vortech. The uneven flow of the stock piece made me concerned that the front cylinders would be rich. I have no proof that this would happen but, I feel much better about having bought the piece.

crawford would be a nice addition without a doubt. not required; but it would be helpful. FI tends to amplify any other parts strengths or weaknesses.

I believe that with an upgraded plenum, the supercharger will work more efficiently and that power can be created with less stress to parts. Same effect with upgraded headers and exhaust. You are allowing the car to breath more easily.

Some good reads on the Crawford plenum + S/C

As you know, Crawford is a sponsor and you can get the plenum here.
