Joe backfilled/contoured it to match the intake. He also ported it for Steve Monroes TB. No Power Plate...as the plugs are evenly colored...tho I'd recommend a Power Plate for a stock upper plenum.

That's what I run Steve's TB with a power plate. Without a flow bench I will leave the upper plenum alone it is port matched to the throttle body.

Jason, I don't recommend using a heavy set of valve springs like I do. 980's and 981's will do just fine. The basic premise of this exercise is to see how fast I can go on stock junk and Erics 5.7 chip. When I hear back from Joe, I'll post up the info.

Steve...here's the info you requested from Joe:

130 lbs at 1.700
340 lbs at 1.250

His text didn't say what brand or part number.

Are you running a stock intercooler as well?  Also, your're using the stock nylon timing gear?
