Haven't been able to find a clear answer to this question. I am thinking down the road about a minor power increase on the level of the PP2 kit. Not interested in the PP3 simply because I'm not interested in turning 7500 rpm with my engine. My engine is stock in terms of power adders, there are none, just stuff for longevity such as oil control and cooling. Most of the tracks I frequent are technical and tend to need more torque than horsepower. I'm also just tracking the car for fun, not serious competition.
So the question is, given that I rarely, if ever, exceed 6500 rpm and need good torque to get off slower corners more than horsepower, will the PP2 kit or a 2018 intake swap be the better route?
With the 2018 intake, does it need a tune to get the added power/torque out of it, or does it make more power than the stock '16 manifold with the stock tune that would already be in my '16?
In terms of cost it appears the 2018 manifold is half the price of PP2 so that's a bargain if it makes power/torque comparable to PP2, but cost is not a huge issue here.
Any insight on experiences in this respect greatly appreciated.
