The $425 AI intake is ported and geometry corrected to properly mate to decked blocks and milled heads. So that is not just the porting price.

I know, if the air requirements of the motor are not met, this, theoretically COULD happen to some degree, but very unlikely. an intake design with runner length being within 1 inch would lessen the likely hood of inconsistent cylinder-to-cylinder A/F ratios...

Something on this note, last year sometime I ditched my LT1 style induction kit and went for a forward fed setup through the inlets in the hood (like ram air). With that as my only mod, I went from having 50/50 rich/leaner plugs to a more even burn. All plugs had the uniform color whereas before the rear 4 were black. Track times? Haven't been enough to compare. Just looking at plugs though I was really pleased.

Then figure TPS harnesses, distributor plugs, MAP sensor brackets, vaccuum fittings for the back of the intake. There's just a lot of little stuff that you don't realize until you start putting it together, especially if you want to do it right.

If anyone is interested in a complete nitrous ready setup, I'm thinking about getting rid of the car, complete.


Is it a plate system for a super vic? still got it?
