It does, but not 100% perfect. I have one on a v8 swap and it does fit, but one of the fittings is bent slightly by the stuff under the intake manifold. Functionally it's fine, takes some extra muscle on the install.

I saw no change, however the OEM one rips no mater what you do (age) and the perrin one shouldn't

I never had a stock one on my ver8 motor, so have no real reference.

I went from EJ205 / 3.9 final tranny / 18G to EJ207 / 4.44 tranny / EFR 6758, needless to say, the whole setup has a TON better light throttle response. AVCS is a huge deal, and the tranny was a bigger deal than I thought it would be.
