As long as you are happy I guess, but that is the wrong intake for your car. You don't need a 90 until you get close to 500 flywheel horse. You're engine just doesn't suck in enough air to use all that CFM and the velocity is just wasted. It's like trying to suck a choclate shake through a straw that is a foot wide. It is going to kill your gas mileage also. I did the same thing when I was running my small cam and thought the car was running great, then I swapped the 90 for a 78 and picked up almost 15 Peak ponies, a ton of mid range and about 45 FT LBS of torque., and that was with a cam.
