Boost?
another 4 barrels?
all that intakes gonna need some more flow ability
perhaps a few more inches on the exhaust diameter, for funsies or research?

All I could afford at the time was two and a half inch pipes with flowmasters, no boost. But as Dale Earnhardt said, winning is based on that distance between the bottom of your accelerator and the floorboard?

AuroraGirl:
Would you send me the thickness of the valve housing?
My 1994 5.7 doesn't use crossover so I don't need a functioning valve, I just need one that's the correct thickness to make my new y-pipe bolt up correctly.
If the Valve that you have is thinner than the adapter I have currently, I may be interested in purchasing yours. Please let me know. Thank you

It’s a 2 inch opening and 1.08 inches or just about 28mm thick, hard to tell the intended thickness with the rusty build but it’s just over an inch could easily shave.
The opening is oval on the one side snd the circular is where I got the measurements. I’ll post pics of valve and manifold
