my good local buddy bo white hooked me up with one way back in the day and it was an awesome piece . of course i started playing around with them and sold it back since now i got a 90mm .
there are sponsors on here that do it for a good price and have a rep check them out . hell if i still has a stock size intake i would look at the aftermarket bbk 80mm or even the 85mm tbs that are being sold for what the stock 75mm sold for back in the day .
cant go wrong with our sponsors

ApexvIII ported mine. He did a damn good job! It made a huge difference in ideling and throttle response. As far as what someone said about going to a BBK, That's why I went back to a ported stocker. The BBK sucked on driveability.
