When do you port the intake vs the siamesed. I more concerned with best power curve not peak performance. I am planning a 368 build with stage one cams. Just curious if anyone has data on porting vs siamesed?

Thanks

You get a lot of different opinions....safe route is just go 36mm. or a hybrid with Siamese plenum and 36mm runners in the injector housings.

My 350ci intake and IH are Siamese...441 rwhp@7100 373TQ@5300

Still need a final tune.....and adding a 63mm TB

Will see were I end up

I wouldnt siameseunless you felt you absolutely had to if youre looking to keep the entire powerband nice and fat. Peaky feels fast but isnt always

Ive driven overported/siamesed LT5s and they are pooches til the rpms up there. Ok for the track not so much on the street
