I might sell this setup and use the cash for a LSXRT for my LQ9 build this fall....
I just got the fuel rails back from getting the AN -6 fitting welded on so would be a complete kit for someone running a Drive By Cable setup and return style fuel rails...

Its a good intake just not for small engines.
Can you go a little more in depth as to what was discussed between you and your cam designer? How did you come to this conclusion? just curious..

I would think working the 706 heads and port matching the intake would be the more cost effective way to go.

plenum volume and runner volume is to big which caused the air to slow down
Which created a lowend bog and loss of torque

I was under the impression that the only differences between the two was plenum volume. Have any info that the runners are indeed different?
