    Why a ported GenV?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    Good to know.. Iv seen ported gen 5s on some vendors websites figured it would perform better... What about a phenolic intercooler?? Is it worth the extra $ or should I just get the 2" aluminum

    Who ported a GenV? If they did...then they need to learn that a stock GenV flow well better than a fully ported GenIII blower. No need for porting as there are no gains other than possibly sound.

    Not all phenolic intercoolers are expensive.

    By porting are you talking about removing the H-Bar? If so, you will find lots of opinions on porting it or not for use with an IC. I removed the H-bar on mine and it runs very well.

    I also own an IC from ^^^^ and it works great.
