Default who has had their ls6 intake ported by cartek?

if so...did you do before and after dyno's?
how much power did you gain?
any new track times with ported intake only?
can you feel a difference?
i would rather port my ls6 and not buy the fast lsx,$250 vs $700+ sounds better to me. thanks, mike c.

I dont think youll feel a differance really. I have a ported Intake but it was done by AMS. I had pullies done at the same time though so I cant say if youll notice or not. I know that you can see gains around 8-10 hp so I dont think youll really feel it.

Does Cartek sell the actual manifold or do they just port them and If so where do you guys see the cost? I cannot find anything on their web-site.
