Lol, I hate to say it, but from the 2 or 3 Profesional product intake manifolds ive played with, the ports seem to look pretty good, but the outside looked as if it were forged by a 3 year old with touretts on a bad day, lol. But the port work looked pretty darn nice. Id run one, spend the money I saved on port work. But im a cheap ***, lol. Eric L

There are several other LS motors in the article that were more aggressive and made well into the 600+ horsepower arena. The beauty of this motor was the performance they achieved with such a conservative set up. That motor would truly be a no sacrifice choice in a street cruiser.

I've used the pro products on sbc motors various times without any sealing or other issues .don't see why a ls manifold would be any different
