I would strongly advise to look in the classifieds regularly because you can find Holley or Edelbrock intakes for close to the same price you would pay for the port job. In fact, I think there is a Holley Hi Ram intake for sale last I checked for ~$600. That is not much more than you would pay for the port job. Now granted you may need other parts to make the intake work with your injectors and tb and such but if your trying to get all the power you can I would go with an aftermarket intake instead of spending money to port a stock one. Just my two cents though......

 

I've thought about that, but clearance is an issue. Not sure how much taller/shorter the aftermarket intakes are than the truck intake, but would hate to get one and find out it wouldn't fit. I'm one of the few guys thats actually running the truck intake on my setup. Most go with an LS6 or car FAST setup. I had to shave the back half of the intake and do a lot of massaging on my firewall/cowl area to get it to fit. Glad i did though, went from ls6 w/ported tb to the nnbs w/pp 96mm tb and dropped .2 in the 1/8, and after selling my ls6 stuff actually pocketed $100.

 

I would not use any type of Hi ram on your setup, you don't have the CI or the RPM to make use of it and your low and mid will suffer more. Ill go against the grain on this, I would absolutely go with the 218 intake port over the 226. That cam should run good, the 110lsa should keep the power from being way too high, but I suspect something is holding it back a hair on top end. I would expect peak to be another 200rpm or so higher. What does the exhaust setup consist of?

 

F-body pacesetter, 2.5" all the way to x, then dynomax bullets dumped. I'm not entirely happy with the bends in the exhaust, so I could see the exhaust hindering it a bit. I've got cutouts just off the header though. The thread i posted earlier had same cam except on a 112 that peaked around 6300 i believe. AI suggested the 226cc as well though. The bump in compression is gonna help the low end a good bit.
