Gutted intake questions
God, I searched everywhere and can't find an agreement for the best solution for the 03 manifold at the 300+mark. I scored one for 40 bucks, and I see the vegan flower god had sean cut his out, but I guess I would like a little more documentation or something. I don't want to break out my spinning wheel of death on my intake without having somewhat of a direction and knowing what works. I am at the end of my budget, and grabbing this SOB for cheap was on point. Any good documentation from yall? m.net is full of people asking why would you do it, and all I can find here is talking about how to grill a hotdog in a tailpipe.

Well ****, I am kind of lazy, I do know that the butterflies at the bottom are leaving regardless, because I took those out on my AE86, and that is totally the same. Actually, I never did drive that thing when it was "right." But anywho, this damn intake looks like nothing but a flow restriction and a waste of weight.

are you are worried about removing the VTCS flappers in the 03 manifold?
stop worrying. do it and plug the pivot rod holes. they are ONLY closed at cold start. the rest of the time they sit in the runners blocking delicious airflow.
I wouldn't gut the aluminum just yet though.
edit: hah you beat me by one minute.
anyway...

398hp with power building to redline isn't conclusive?
There's not much too it. I gained about .7L of volume with the gut. Total plenum (not including runners) volume is now around 2.5L IIRC. Hack away until there's nothing left. Destroy the EGT **** too. Oh and while you're at it port match.
