I know this is one of those "beating a dead horse" topics. Presently, I have a one piece intake manifold with ported runners. It's also opened up for a 52 mm throttle body. I have done all the exhaust side mods along with a ported head, so I'd imagine that I have some room for improvement in the intake side.
I have another one piece intake that I have cut apart and shortened the runners. When I get the time, I will port the runners and weld on a larger "neck" to eliminated that stock tapered restrictive "neck".
I also have a couple two piece intakes. According to what I felt with my fingers, they don't have the same restriction of the one piece intake. It also looks easier to port the two piece. The only problem I can see is having to cut the vent drain off the bottom of my hood for clearance.
What should I do?
A. Current one piece
B. Modified/ported one piece
C. Ported two piece
