Intake manifold vs intake port cfm

If a heads intake port will flow, say 220 cfm, is it ideal for the intake manifold runner feeding that cylinder to also flow 220, or is what the manifold "flows" insignificant? The reason I ask is I...

Re: Hear range "tuning"?

Thanks for the input, guys. I didnt know if I'd see a difference or not, but I figured I'd ask. The Delco 43's in there now constantly look black, so I think Im gonna go up a range.

I know installing a cam is a lot more cost and labor-effective, but this idea does work, right? And not so much for power gains, but for effeciency.

Re: Starting my swap.

Thanks got the input. I'm waiting for a vette to sell, so I should be covered money wise. As of right now it just needs to move under its own power, so suspension and exhaust work can wait for now.

Those might not exactly be ""wrong". If the .708 reach isnt interfering with anything, that can be a plus. As long as they are the right heat range, (I say) you can roll with it.
