At least we have all of these gears to choose from. I've always had standard transmissions but when I first got this camaro I got to 4th on the highway and left it, then realize it's not an old 4 speed. 2 more f'ing gears. What do I do with those? Save them for the rebuild.

Hope a few of the intake mods help you on the low end. I've been eyeballing the full solo from heads to tail. I just like this setup so much. I don't even get the big cold air intake gargle anymore. I thought it sounded tough but now the engine sucks as much air in as the filter can provide and the exhaust is quit which works for me now. It could be a little louder on the throttle but that will come with a new exhaust setup.

It's the same reason I'm not getting the intake spacer, just the ported intake manifold when I have the extra funds. It's the last mod I have to do besides the intake scoop. Unless dyno sheets start getting thrown around about the 80mm tb being noticeably more effective than the ported tb.
My guess is your ported tb will give you the same result as the 80mm. Unless your going F/I, your saving money better spent on another mod.

Alright everyone-time to get your research hats on.
Here is what I got. All the measurements I could think of to take.

This is with the CAI intake. 3.5" needed on both ends.

Hmm. My wife is the one who sees the packages come in , but has never asked how many $$$ things are. I am fine with her angles. Of course buying the house with my VA loan , might have helped
