Ported Fast intake with stock heads???? Well.... my big question is- if I got a ported fast intake, would the porting be worthless without ported heads? i plan on just getting full intake and full exhaust, so I will have stock unported heads to line up with the ported Fast intake.
Would the exhaust ports of the intake be WAY to big for stock heads, kinda like a square fiting into a circle???

He is saying would the EXIT port of the intake be to big for the ENTRANCE of the heads in the intake side of combustion. Personally I think it boils down to money on whether or not its worth it. For the price of your intake you could have picked up twice as much with a good set of heads(depending on your heads: ls1, ls2/6). So no I do not think it is worth it to answer your question. I think the heads would be a bottle neck.

You need a good set of heads or your intake and throttle will not flow correctly you will be wasting your time and your money sell the intake and throttle and buy you a good set of ported heads. The heads will open your engine up for endless possibilities.

I would definately recommend getting heads first. IMO Ported fast intakes arent nessecary on a 346, they tend to do much better on something like a 408 which is moving a lot more air. Dont get me wrong you will definately pick up some power, but i don't think the ported intake is used to its full potential on a stock cube motor. I could be wrong, but thats just what I have seen in my experiences.

Alright, LS6 intake it is then.... and yes dubs6 is right about what I was trying to say. Also... what do you guys think about the TTS headers? What would be a good price for some?

Pointless?? I would say yes and no.
Unless you have real good flowing heads that ported FAST is going to "Bottle neck" your heads
I would get it anyways cause you WILL see an increase of power but not nearly as much if you had ported heads.
But you can always get a set of nice ported heads later for a great flowing setup.
