Thanks got it. Leave the runners alone. I'll just open it up around the injector tips .

I did the kegger mod on my truck, and I rather like the results. Of course, I actually gained power across the RPM range, simply because of how badly my plenum was blown...... 
The 'mod' that made the MOST difference though, was the double roller timing chain. I did that separately from any other mods, so, it was the only change done..... and I was AMAZED at the difference it made. Of course, my engine had 170K+ miles at the time........

Shortened the runners about 1.5 inches, and radiused the openings nicely. That, and cleaned out the accumulation of crap that was in it.... (I bought another intake for 25 bucks to mod, so all I had to do was swap 'em. I spent a lotta hours with a dremel, and sawzall on the intake......)
i have comp cams 20-745-9, along with HS 1.7s. thing was a torque monster when i had my long tubes.
.212/.218
.480/.480
lsa 114
with the 1.7s its becomes .510/.510
cant wait to get my dakota, and get some good long tubes, so i can have fun with the motor!

Holy wow!! Makes me wanna change the timing chain in my 5.9 now Lol! its got 211k, ive got all the paperwork from the previous owner and no where does it say that the chain was ever replaced, and he took really good care of the truck. correct me if im wrong but i thought i had read somewhere before the chain should be replaced every 60k? Like i said i could be wrong but i swear ive heard that before
