The red line is when I had a 5/16" plenum spacer and stock lower and upper plenum. Here's a picture of the shift Tech performance plenum. (excuse my dirty engine bay) The inside of the plenum it's completely polished and the support columns have been removed. The plenum neck being bored out to 75 mm all the way through.
For all that money and time spent, wouldnt it have been better to just go with a turbo kit?
Yes, for more power it would have been more cost effective. All of these modifications have been done over the length of time that I've had the car not all at once. I bought it in 2008 and started modifying the car little by little. I had the cams put on because I had to get the timing chain and valve covers replaced. So might as well do the cams while they were in there. Plus I always wanted a cammed NA car. I might put on a single turbo kit, I know the c8's will help it make more power if I go that route.

Plus you get all the benefits of NA power! No turbo spike life.
