Default Ported manifolds/TB's?
Wanted to know if any FI guys are running ported factory intake manifolds? such as LS2 port works stuff? Opinions on porting manifolds for FI? Average psi drop when running both ported manifold and TB? Thanks!!!

its a waste of money. with FI, you just turn up the boost for more power... and if you cant turn it up more(or you're turning it up high enough), porting isnt going to have any effect... because you'll be ready for a different manifold.

Many people here are just running stock LS6 intake manifolds with a ported throttle body. It seems to do the trick unless you are looking for one of the extreme high hp set ups.
