$500-$550 IIRC but why bother on a 78?

Are you guys really hating on a F78...? In prior years I have had customers switch from their 78's to 90's and gain 2rwhp (and be MAD). I have seen users go from ported 78s to ported 90s and gain under 5 as well. All of this is on stock cube LS1s. I was always as surprised as the owners until I had seen it a few times.

i got it, 78 and 90 are the same besides the tb opening if i remember correctly. There isn't much to be gained. I think even the 92 is the same it just has some nicer touches that made it more user friendly. The 102 on the other hand is a whole different intake but that requires some more parts and $$$.

you are right, and the gains between the 78>90 and 78>92 are about the same and are about the same as the 90 to 92.
