Just a quick shout out to Aloicious and Stealth97. Thanks again for all your input. Living this far north (600 miles north of Vancouver, canada) means that we don't have to worry about emissions or appearing stock. That is why the blow-through carb was a consideration.Besides emissions and appearance, are there any other benefits to the marine intake over an aftermarket efi setup(though the marine set-up will be a perfect fit for my intake boost tube ).Sorry if I keep thanking you guys, but to a guy that's poured in a boatload of benjamins for sub-par performance, you two are the vortec shangri-la.
cheers
