Intake Upgrade?
I'm wondering how much good it would do to throw an edelbrock hi-flo baseplate and runners on to my setup. Procharged 350 with forged internals running about 15psi max. My heads have had some bowl work done to them but they are not ported. Would an improved intake make any difference at all, since it is forced induction?

For sure . You gain a good bit of midrange with it . But I wouldn't leave it as is . Get the base honed out to 45mm and siamese the runners in as far as you can get. ( I went in 4"deep) . The thing is ...the more power ( forced induction) you have the more gain you seem to get with mods.

I think the "other" big gain would be the fact that EGR would be deleted which means no more exhaust gases heating up the charge just before combustion chamber entry...what is everyone elses opinion on this?
