Default Kinetix ???

Looking to get a Kinetix manifold I found this one listed below used for a good price, I had also found the velocity intake for a few hundred more, I am not looking to build my car into a huge power house but do plan on adding a vortech supercharger. Anyone have opinions on my better option? Thanks

dont use the plenum if you are going to supercharge. Mine leaks alot now after its first year.
Its cool, but the answer is no.
Unless you in fact are NOT going to s charge it, then you are just fine.

BTW, Youre going to want to use search heavily here before posting in the future. Just a friendly warning for what will csurely ome next from the OG forum members, i see you have very few posts, just make sure to use search

The Kinetix Racing V+ has been favorable among many here (including myself) if you are going to stay NA. As to it "leaking"... Just make sure not to over-torque the bolts when you are placing it back on the lower plenum and re-attaching the throttle body. This can cause cracking and leaking since the Kinetix Racing V+ IS composite. My 2 cents is to get the Kinetix for now and keep your OEM plenum until you decide if you want to go FI or not. you'll enjoy the benefits and a little more HP and a cooler intake temp.

Steer clear of composite Plenums as they do crack & leak. Go with the Kinetix velocity manifold. Runs clean, nice aspiration roar when mated w/ K&N Cyclone Intake system, little more HP and a cooler intake temp, very resellable if future mandates, looks very clean w/ or wo cover. Very compatible w/ updated booster system. Cosworth is a little bit pricy. As always save old plenum.
