PTB you will the throttle response more pretty sure

I disagree. I think that porting the stock IM, done properly should show gains throughout the power band. After studying various dyno graphs, it appears to me that the MSD Atomic intake manifold improves top end power at the expense of bottom end torque. Since I am not looking for a huge peak horsepower number, but rather gains throughout the power band, I opted to go with the Pray Performance ported IM. Although the car "feels" faster with the PP ported IM, I can't claim to be able to feel 10 RWHP on a car making 435 RWHP. I prefer the objective to the subjective when it comes to the benefits of different engine modifications.
From a purely subjective perspective, the car does feel faster. Throttle response appears to have improved. The car feels like the ported intake manifold woke up the engine; I can't define my impressions any better than that. The proof is in the pudding as they say, so the dyno will be the ultimate arbiter of this debate.
Once I have the data that proves/disproves the gains the Pray Ported intake manifold provided, I am going to add a Soler Performance 95 mm throttle body and have the car completely retuned.
