The lift remained constant all around so we reused the stock valve springs. The l&m intake cams are no springs required. I installed boundary oil pump gears, which are 100 bucks less than mmr
SCJ Manifold Review

You should have done the twin 67 or 72. Monoblade's a bit rough imo after having it myself, but yes there is a decent power gain from this manifold and AED is a great tuner for this setup as well.
I read that the power gains are negligible between the TB's. Also car is daily which is another reason why I went with twin 65.
And you payed someone to do it? Was it a buddy or a known shop? If it was a shop, do you mind how much they charged you for the install?
To hold more power, the old motor is still fine.
I got an amazingly fair price for the entire install. 1500 flat with tax for all 4 camshafts and oil pump gears (dropped the k member to access the oil pan)
The Cj is the manifold the coyote needed stock. I make gear torque. I've seen zero loss in torque from the stocker with the scj monoblade

My driveability is stock with the monoblade. Shaun is tuning me now, but the Lund tunes has stock driveability also.

Got mine in today.
Sadly it's gonna rain till next week so testing the power is a little tricky when it just spins above 4k :-(
Anyone got any tips on making the coolant lines more black? Or possibly something to wrap them with? They just stand out.
Has anyone heard of the paint pedaling off? The paint pealed off my manifold and I just decided to melt the rest off with acetone to make it look better.
Paint is pretty poor quality on my brand new manifold. If it bugs me much in the future I might paint it.

You could use the mesh wrap material vmp has in their kits, or get the covers that go with the cj kit.
I'm very glad to have run across this thread as I've been on the fence for some time as to whether to go with the CJ intake or not. To me, it seemed like a lot of $$$ for a little added power from 5600-7500, but that's mostly where the engine speed lives on a road course track (which I'm trying for the first time this spring). To the OP, I didn't see all your mods/setup in a sig - what gear are you running? How do you think the MT82 w/3:73's would be with this setup? I'm debating this against a wet kit w/ 75 shot instead.
Not a huge fan of the Boss covers on the CJ setup. I went to the VMP site and don't see the mesh wrap for sale by itself but maybe I'll have some luck if I send them an email. Trying to scour google for more info on where to get it but surprised it's not as easy to find as I thought. Those hoses are butt ugly when exposed lol.
If anyone has any ideas/custom things they did on their own setups please share.
I decided to sand and paint mine sterling gray. Definitely a lengthy project, but i like it.
Just saw this thread good to know you guys love it. Mine will be here friday and then it's getting sent to Bret Barber to get ported.
