Default Good Idea?

I just bought a TPIS Big Mouth and already know that I need to get my plenum and runners ported, but should I also port my base? I also plan on speaking with Jon about injectors, but I also need to replace my wires. Anybody add clips to their valve covers to organize the wires? One of my wires was nearly burned in half after resting on my headers for quite some time. Im also experiencing trouble starting the car after trips in warm weather. I dontt know whether it could be my starter or maybe my distributor.... Im looking for suggestions for a short throw kit as well. Thank you for any input. greatly appreciated.

Check out www.corvetteplenum.com Mike Graycar does excellent work. Also I would at least Gasket match the Intake to the Heads and also to the Runners makes a nice smooth transition of air. A place called Made for You products makes a loomeaders set for the center bolt valve covers that keeps em off the Headers. Pipe

heat shields are a must when you get headers !
