My opinion is noted? That's cute.
If you understood flow potential vs. flow peformance you'd pretty quickly realize that a stock intake port does not require the advantages of a FAST intake, especially when coupled with a typical street cam that makes good torque. What you think you want and what actually need are two very distinct sets of criteria.
So if you want a smooth looking intake get the Dorman LS2, or if you don't care get a TBSS intake. Or buy an oversized composite leaky modular intake and enjoy impressing the local yokels with your purchas
I have no where near a stock intake port.
Yes I said your opinion was noted and I wasn't being sarcastic but I can see you are an Internet tuff boy so do us all a favor and stick it. I've worked on everything from a blown alcohol funny car to several big block chevelle street cars. I know enough to be dangerous ya smart *ss
