No milling. My heads are only milled 2-3 thousands. Opening up the holes just a little will mate this thing right down on there without a problem. The stock plastic intakes and the FAST all have larger holes with washers on top for this reason I suspect.
Yeah and to the best of my knowledge, that Wilson metal intake is only for LS7's. I dont think that they have a Cathedral port one yet.

A 346 is worst place for those dimensions
Everyone looks for the new flavor of the week, and wonders why it doesnt pan out when it doesnt fit combination at all. You can throw all the camshaft at it in the world, you wont pick up much torque maybe crutch it a bit, you can only shift it around. Cant make runner length with a cam.
James/Sheila car is a good example. Good combo of parts 445 inches, and FAST feeds it well, could use more but well. If they can get by with it, think if you do? About double that runner legnth/6" is the shortest Id use on 430+ inch engines turning 7500-8K

Hey Christian,
I spoke with Carlos briefly a few days ago and he mentioned that his A/F was very lean again as soon as he bolted the FAST back on (indicative of better cylinder fill obviously).
Just an FYI...
His track results tonight should be interesting....I assume he is simply going to load his old tune back into the PCM
-Tony
PS....Hey, did your buddy get the intake I sent him?

Not sure. Haven't really paid attention to that.
I'll get a log tonight.
That would make sense if I hadn't accidentally overwritten the old tune
. Had to redo it. It's pretty close now and I will finish tweaking it at the track. Heading out in 30 min.
First pass 10.51 @ 128.22 with a 1.45 60'

That, is a 100% sure sign that the intake is the problem.
Run car, runs 10.5x
Remove intake, install other intake
Retune car for new intake
Run car, runs .4 and 4 mph slower.
Put old intake back on.
Load old tune into car.
Run car, runs 10.5x.
That says enough.

Hell yeah!!!! BTW, Steve called me tonight, Mike's gonna do the back to back to back on the motor dyno with my intake/tb, the fast, and the fibertuned, i'm assuming it will be scotty's motor, I can't wait to see the results, i'm still curious myself. Even if it doesn't do better, i'll most likely stick with it cuz I don't want to run a direct port and a carb style plate works a lot better (safer/better distribution) than a wet kit on a front entrance intake, but i'm hoping for the best.
So to everyone else, keep ur eyes open, those comparo results will probably be up within a week or two.
