Porting TBSS Intake (My Approach)

I've been driving the car all Summer without an issue so that's good right? Meaning the epoxy is holding. The car has amazing power and pulls clean to the 6700 shift points. The calculated airmass went way up with the intake swap from ported LS6 to ported TBSS.
I guess the real question is: What does it run in the quarter?
And I won't know that until early Fall when I get it to the track. I'd argue the tell will be MPH difference between the LS6 and the TBSS intakes. I also just installed a single nitrous fogger on the car for giggles... so hopefully I don't get too wrapped up in playing with that.
None the less I'll report back.

I have no doubt that the lower end power, throttle response, and driveability is better with the resonance tube installed. I've got a 3800 stall and 3.73s in the wagon, so it gets gets out okay despite the big lazy plenum.

Ive been following this for a while. Pretty interested to see if you get some concrete results. I think it's awesome to do something like this because I'd rather try and learn than just spend 1000 on another intake. Especially when i can do this really cheap. I am going to do something similar since i just had a dyno run and have good numbers to gauge it.

Never did follow up on this.
12.3 @ 109mph off the bottle, and 12.0 @ 116mph on a wonky bit of spray. More details here (out 60s my Hellcat - LOL):

The video is mislabeled, this is the from Oct 19 - same day as above. This is the 12.3 pass off the bottle.
COVID ruined much of the 2020 season.
