Glenn,

Thanks so much for all the help! Remember that one of my goals is to get the car back on the street with as little effort and expense as possible. I was perfectly happy with how that intake combo ran on the turd L83 motor. I'm not concerned with fuel consumption. Your recommended intake combo would nearly double my expenses at Summit. Can I make my existing intake components work reasonably? I would assume that if they were way overkill for the L83 (and ran just fine) that they are less overkill for my newer shortblock. Is that a fair assumption? Part of the reason I'm exploring new heads is that I have been told that my new short block would run like garbage with the old 624 heads. I'm willing to get heads. Hopefully, my Edelbrock setup would run fine and merely be just wasteful, which I'm ok with. It would take me years at my expected annual usage to recoup the cost of the wasted gasoline to justify the expense of the new intake combo.

Am I barking up the wrong tree then to even get the Floteks instead of just running the 624s?
