Am I missing something? Distribution of?? Not being a smart *** just don't know what you are referring to.
air has mass and doesn't like to turn...especially at high velocity...

inner 4 cylinders were definately leaner than my corner cylinders

Well if I use the ls6 intake I feel like all the port work Greg Good did on the heads was for nothing...

I don't know if I will be able to port match the intake. A friend of mine (who's TT car put down 75x whp) just switched to a fast 92/92. We haven't re-tuned or dynoed, But the car has definitly increased in power. I don't know, this is just what I have seen.

I see the logic and I'll agree with that...You never stop learning.

you just got the car....put it together with the parts you have...run it and see where its at before you go spend money. A different intake prolly will make more power...different heads will...different cam etc will. I am going 147 @ 3960 pounds with a ls6...met my goals and no need to spend more money....we are all different though

I agree with you in the stop spending money category, however, I don't do my own tuning so it will cost me to have it tuned with the ls6 intak. If I decide to change the intake it will cost me to have it tuned again. Trying to skip that step by seeing who is using what. It is going to cost me around $600 to have it tuned and I don't want to spend that twice if I don't have to.

^^^ dunno who your getting it tuned by but usually the first initial tune is 5-600$ and then anything after that you pay dyno/street tune time and a basic intake swap shouldnt throw much off...easy hour for your tuner. good luck with the build

The car came with HP tuners and I am willing to learn but not on something with so many variables.....Turbos.....meth ect...I am going to start on a h/c/i car for my learning and then go from there I REALLY don't want F**K anything up. I was not aware that it would be cheaper for the second tune.
