Yes you can see gaps on the inside, it is not made in 1 piece, you'd have to 3D print them to do that and that wouldn't be cost effective. CJs are running 10.0s letting out of the throttle way early, there's nothing wrong with those intakes. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the guys grinding on the inside of them are hurting more than helping.

3.5 years of constant tweaking is the best answer. It is a Boss engine I got a deal on, stock other than the CJ manifold and headers. The car has the right converter/gear/tires/suspension. I track tune it, as dyno numbers do nothing to get it down the track quickly, which is my end goal. I'm sure it doesn't make much horsepower, but the car is able to use every last one of them.
