And just to have a counterpoint on an engine that would actually show a gain with a cam and headers, etc.

Considering the traffic, the views, the lack of any posts proving any real gains from porting the LS3 intake that are not from a porter. Im too leaning towards a
Plus it took FAST a Loooooooong time to develop the 102MM intake and during development there was a bunch of chatter about how difficult it was for FAST to improve upon the design of the LS3 ( L76 then ) and get any real gains.
Then they finally release the thing and the gains are very minimal and completely not worth the $$$ unless you have a big cube motor.
So once again my hat goes off to the general for a brilliant piece of performance engineering. Which is precisely why I love GM in the first place and especially love LS engines. These things are well designed and well built and last the test of time.
So theres a few hundred bucks more in my pocket it seems.

No BS here. Started new job and have been in and out of hospital with health issues. Have not dynoed it. I did install it but did not dyno it. Ran it at track with ported intake. Car went 10.66 N/A. First time out. It did not lose power. I bet it was worth 10 rwhp. If I dynoed it and lost power I would post it. A/F on wideband went from 12.6 to 12.8 after install so it is moving more air.
