You can do this....my dad did some dirt circle track racing in the 80's and he did that exact thing to a stock 289 intake.

you could, but i guarantee you'll lose power. intakes are ENGINEERED. you will screw up the airflow as the runners are designed to work with the separation. however, you can grind down the wall about 1/2in but there's no real point. single planes are proven not to affect power until over 5k, sometimes higher. and they're proven to lose power under about 4k.

No Problem, I guess someone likes to throw away money. I know I don't.
