Ported Intake Manifold options?
Do we have options for this mod on our cars? I had a Pray unit on my 17 SS 1LE, and it was a simple, relatively cheap mod. I already have the Soler ported throttle body on my c7 - who (if any) are the best ported intake manifold vendors? Thoughts/experience on this mod?

Someone mentioned Edgy Vette. Has anyone seen their website? What a joke. I'm looking local for porting my OEM. I was looking at MSD, but they're pretty proud and I'm not really sure if it's a ported manifold. (side: my Soler LT5 TB and TC coming in TODAY!

I purchased a used Weapon X from a Member plus a Katech ported TB. I didn't run any faster with the ported stuff but did pick up a mile an hour, not sure if its worth it or not. It picked up about 7 hp which is probably why the MPH went up just a little. I didn't have much time to work on the tune so might be a little more left in it. So far the only mods I really haven't seen much pickup.

You can look at my timeline from stock to long tubes and the fastest pass you see was with stock manifold and TB. I do believe there is a little more power in it but ran out of track time here in the midwest. I never base the Dyno numbers but it is a way for me to get Afr and timing right and then to the track.
I did run exactly the same time but 1 mph faster and I did have a little head wind so I think its possible I could have picked up a little more et but I was messing with the shift points and raised the rpms to much and not enough mph and the last pass when it finally cooled off it hit the rev limiter on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift points. My bad on that one and didn't get anymore passes after that. I can tell you this it slowed down when I tried a ported 95mm Lt5 TB and Adapter. Just didn't work for me.
