I can live with it...sure....like I said before....484 hp and 500 lb-ft isn't anything to sneeze at....But I just hate knowing that the engine has a lot more potential.....if only I had chosen a better cam or a different intake.

At this point, changin the intake seems the better route....than pulling the water pump, timing chain, valve covers, rocker arms, lifters, pushrods, etc to change the cam.

I work at a Valvoline engine test lab....most of the engine builders here who change parts and routinely do dyno work urge me to just swap the intake and get the intake range down to where the cam can use it.
