Working on a complete setup from the base to the throttle body on the Corvette. Been working on the base for the last couple of weekends, still going to take a while. I'm fully porting the base and gasket matching to a set of Fel-Pro 1204 intake gaskets. I'll just to cutting the rest of the tune port gaskets to fit when I'm done.

Here's a few pictures of where I am at so far. Only have one side of the bottom of the intake mostly done but you can see where it's going. Also porting the middle section I can't get pictures of.

I'll keep adding to this as I get further along.

Got all the major porting finished this weekend, some more time blending it all together and cleaning the rest of the intake up to be ready to be installed. Trying to decide between polishing the whole intake or just clear coating it. Leaning more towards clear coating it. I'll make that decision after I get the rest of the parts for this off the IROC.

Here's the intake sitting together. This gonna look pretty damn sweet on the Corvette. BBK throttle body, SLP runners and fully ported base. Should make it run more like a Corvette is supposed to.
