![]() I installed a stock intake this weekend that I had ported out pretty good, especialy on the 2 front runners where the turns were pretty tight. I'm not gonna lie, it didn't do much. The rest of the motor is stock and I have BBK longtubes with a 3 inch down to 2 1/2 inch Dr. Gas x-pipe with flowmaster 40series mufflers. It sounds a little smoother and maybe has a little more torque but nothing really noticable which is pretty disappointing. Next thing I need is some 3.73's, and maybe a nice turbo kit which will probably never happen. Anyone think maybe a Trickflow #1 cam or a mild anderson ford cam would help? I'll try and attach some pics of the ported intake runners.

![]() Dont worry about a cam till you get some heads and when you get some heads ditch the stock intake. Good aluminum heads, a ported cobra intake and an E cam took me from 15's to 12's.

![]() Yeah, post up some pics and I'll give you my opinion. the two front runners need more work than the rest, but they all need some work.

![]() I actually checked out your site before porting my intake to get a few ideas on where need the most work, obviously being the front 2 runners. I took out a good amount, I actually ground through the lower shortside radius on the #5 runner and had to have it tig welded (which luckily only cost me $10). I keep trying to upload pics but it won't let me, it says invalid image. I can e-mail them to you if you want.
