Intake build worth it with shorty headers? I have a car with a 384 LS1 engine that must have cats. The best I can run for exhaust is shorty headers through cats. Would moving from a relatively stock intake system to a FAST manifold with larger lid, MAF and TB be worth the investment even with the massive restriction of my available exhaust?

...then rework the intake side as you wish.

Thanks for the info guys. The heads are good on the car. It is a built 384 stroker. The goal is actually to pass emissions with CARB legal parts. With the amount of money that an intake system would cost me, I think it would be best to put it toward low compression heads and an STS with like 4-5 lbs of boost.
