I know it sounds like a dumb idea, but wouldn't the iron head RWD 3.4's with the crappy intake design flow far better with a TBI setup?
I've been trying to figure out how to make my camaro's intake flow better so I can pull at 6000RPM, and it seems like running the 4.3L throttle body with a stock'ish intake would outflow a MPFI intake system. I did a quick search to see what has been done, but I didn't see anything. It has been my assumption that the restriction in the gen I MPFI 60v6 is the intake runners are too long and too small. Not to mention the plenum and the tb is too small. So wouldn't going with a short runner TBI intake with 4.3L throttle body flow better, resulting in higher HP numbers? I know that the low end torque would suffer some, but all for the sake of HP. Why wouldn't you want to do this?
Feel free to smack me around if I'm just being dumb.
