And yes I stated in my above post it's a stock throttle body and intake , and I really wouldn't call them ported , what was done was the casting flaws were removed and smoothed out and a little material was taken out of the front side of the throttle body and polished (none was talked out behind the TB blade on the intake side) I would say it might free up 5-7hp at most . Also my heads still had some of the factory CNC grooves in the intake ports , looks like most of the porting was done on the exhaust side , I don't port heads for a living but I've seen enough to know that there is a lot left to be done if I chose to , he calls it a high velocity street port , dont know what that means exactly
Sorry, I missed that. With as much camshaft as you got there, I just assumed you went with an aftermarket intake. There is an easy 25hp to be had with a ported Fast, and possibly more with a ported MSD. That would put power about where I was thinking it should be. With 232/0.050 intake duration, and that much lift, AND the bump in SCR, you should be ~575. The larger TB, in my experience, isn't worth the money. Hardly noticeable gains or improvements - and I also do my own tuning, so it's not like I'm talking out my ***. The intake port does not require much work at all.....The exh side does.

Thanks for the advice , I agree about the throttle body , and honestly I thought the porting on the intake and throttle body would be more extensive , the ported Fast or MSD is next on the list , things just added up quick with having to buy drag radials and tuning along with the parts for my build , crept right up on $5k , thank God I've been turning wrenches my whole adult life (I'm 40 now) so I did all my own mechanic work , a clutch will be next on the list before the intake actually , that will be another 10-15 hours labor on this beast lol , my favorite mod so far is the 3 inch muffler mod . It's so loud and badass sounding and literally goes super quiet when I close those flaps !!! And yes there's a lot of camshaft there , that's why I'll def be pulling the heads and inspecting after 5k miles or so

^ The description given of the valve head broken off and the guide split in half...to me that suggests a valve kissed a piston. So valve float...not a defective valve or a guide.
Not odd. Just didn't realize that exact car had already been addressed lol.

Ok...still an interesting choice to delete the post, but no worries.
