Now I'm paying a little more for them to max port the entire internals but still...far from the $2k mark
Either way you made the right choice on intakes from all I've researched. This new Edelbrock intake doesn't look outwardly to appear much better than an LT4.

he actually told me to go either super vic, or a HVH designed brodix. it came down to height for me.. the brodix was 7.1" vs the SV 5.9 i'll take all the clearance i can get..

I know of a 521rwhp NA 383 LT1 on stock engine management and that is through an A4 and 9", a "street ported" intake hell it was even done MAF.
Heads are even just LT1 GM castings "small" valves(2.00/1.56), sub .650 lift.
more info
There is also an Impala in OH putting down 480rwhp through an A4 with owner built 383 and owner ported LT1 aluminum heads and LT1 intake 246/250 .613/.620 109 Comp solid roller. Most of those who knock the LT1 intake are those who haven't really tried working with it.
I wont claim these are normal results and both run 8" ATI nonlockup converters which offer less rotating mass and BIG stall speeds. Thing is these are just two more guys proving what so many of you believe is wrong.

I could have dumped a few hundred into making my Ltx manifold.. But given the plenum area and runner size it won't fit my 245cc RR's w/o excess modification.. And my head porter said it like this.. "why try to re-invent the wheel"... So i'll take his advice, before i take a long shot and try to make it work.. and use what he said to use.. So given the results you just posted.. There should be no problem w/ me making well over 530RWHP through a m6...

i'm a try to do a pump gas tune w/ minimal timing just to lope around on the street.. then do a jet fuel setup... and ring this motha out..

I have not dynoed my car most guys agree though it is near 400rwhp. This summer with ZERO track tricks it has gone 12.5-9 105-7mph depending on the startingline and weather raceweight with me and an empty trunk is about 4250lbs. It is not a strip car it is a daily driver I happen to race and some weekends tow a fishing boat
, over 5K on the heads/cam setup since I got it back up and running late april.I offered the notes about the b-body guy to support the credibility of the other car and show what can be done if people just try a little rather than write things off just because they are based on stock parts.

What yoiu are missing is this is a CLASS racing with some very strict rules on what can be done. As has been covered already it is unported heads and intake, I am fairly sure displacement changes are limited to rebuild level overbores nothing extreme the cams are stock lift duration will be a tad bit higher 
.
Their power is not extreme either but the chassis is setup to use every bit they make. These are race cars ans I am sure you would not enjoy street time in one.

so a basic conclusion would be that an aftermarket intake is not gonna do you any good unless you have some serios moddage, like everything else, oh one more question i saw this ram air intake manifold a while back in jegs i think, i looked nothing like the stocker had a real big top and the runners rouned underneath it, wut about that thing, any one know wut im talkin about?
