    Which V8, the 5L or ls1...

    People usually put the 5L tb on the V6. LS1 cats are also a cheap upgrade...

    It's Paul, I met you at the Springnats year before last I think haha. Just added you on Facebook.

    You might want to look into some manifold spacers that Mace make.
    And I also port the plenum ports as well.

    both v8 t/bs are different to ecotech ones. There is nothing between the v8 and v6 motor you can scavenge
