When we dynoed my engine a few(?) years ago, the Trick Flow intake I decided to run instead of a Victor was pretty much out of the box, except a few minutes cleanup of some casting goobers and sharp edges.
Since I also have a bone stock TF to compare against, I did some -- not a huge amount of -- work on the dynoed intake before the engine went back into the car: - a fairly deep port match to the standard-port Victor heads, since the TF runners were still a bit undersized; left the cuttered finish, FWIW - some plenum cleanup and blending, but no polishing - "bevel edged" the 5/7 divider as recommended by David Vizard to help keep #7 from robbing as much #5 since they're back-to-back in firing order
At some point when the car's been baselined, I'll swap the intakes to see if my work actually shows up on the ET slip. And then... ?
