    Its on a N/A build. GT40 heads, tfs stage two cam. 650 Double pumper. Im going to run a stealth intake and i was wondering if there would be any benefit to grinding down the divider a third of the way down and giving it a knife edge radius? Im also going to be running a 1 inch open spacer. Thanks!

    the spacer and the grinding work will lower your low end perfromance. thats alot of cam for those heads and intake. i used that cam in my fox mustang. (306, performer rpm heads, gt40 intake). it sounded mean but the combination just didnt perform as i expected. i would have been beter off with less cam. i feel that the rpm heads flow beter than the gt40 also. but that cam does have a mean lope to it.

    With a V8 im not really worried about the low end. Its kinda a compromise to not going with a single plane. Im having a local guy port the heads, he did a set with some epoxy work. He said they flow good till 7,000. I guess ill find out, and im stuck with the cam cause i already bought it :D
