that was a good joke.

If 8 rwhp is a waste of time, then so is a lid, and so is an underdrive pulley, and a catback, and hell, an LS6 intake only gives you 10 or so, it must be a waste too.
I noticed a SOTP difference when Bo White did my TB on my Z. I dropped time at the track too. Could I have gone with a 90mm? Sure could've but yeah, $300+ and a waste of time on a bone stock motor? Suuuuuuuure.

You recommending a ~$1200 intake setup? lol
**** you....hahah
I noticed i diference when i ported my stock TB with the dremel i got for christmas so it was FREE HP. I noticed a gain even though it was the first thing i've ever ported, so i can only imagine ehat an experienced porter could do. If anything my TB looks great now and I did it, and i feel a difference. Granted thiswas after a cam so my gains are more than you'd see on a stock LS1 but it was still well worth the few hours i spent in the garage on a rainy day
