do you not have to fill in over the injector holes like they did in the other pictures?

Wouldnt removing something that stuck out into the intake runner like a ski ramp gain SOME power by removing it from reduced turbulence even on a stock motor??????????????

imo, any porting will only benefit the motor! at least on the intake, even a stock intake. i did a mild gasket match on my wife's z last year when i fixed the intake leak and the car runs great! cai and a gear car went 13.4 @ 101.2mph.

keep in mind the air flow velocity is highest on the roof of the intake runner just as it is exiting the heads to your headers.

my new lt4 intake is complete and waiting to be plopped onto the motor. my original intake is also completed and for sale.

There has to be someone out there who has accomplished this mod on a mildly modded ride.

Has anyone ever removed the wall separating the runners and if so how it respond? Would this effect the engine's performance in a negative manner. Anyone.........

I didn't see this ski ramp on my 93 intake. I'm guessing this is yet another difference on the 93's. My runners were all straight and smooth no ski ramps. Just polished them up last week.

Can some verify whether the 93's intake doesn't have the ski ramps in the runners.

Here's a few pics of my 93 intake ports. I didn't remove much material and the basic shape is still the same as it was when I started. So now knowing what the ski ramps look like I would have to say that the 93's intake don't have the ski ramps. There is a depression where the injectors fire into the port as you can see in the second picture.
