welcome to the world of CEG. You need a thick skin here to survive....once you do that, the better off you will be.
A full 3.0L arguably gives you the most power/easiest to drive and easy to make...but can be the ugliest looking :laugh:
Hybrids--no one does these any more now that we have Bugazi plates for porting out the heads. Simply too much work...all the other builds are easier and cheaper to do.
The port matched engine is easy to do, makes good power, looks good.

Yeah, it only takes a $1000 intake manifold. :laugh:
and wait a minute, the fuel rail is backwards.

Why do you say a full 3L is easier to drive? Just curious

Very good explanation of the terms and I love the pictures cause that's how my brain learns the best!

It's not, so ignore that statement. A full 3L should have more mid range than a ported 3L so technically you could say it may have more torque steer making it more difficult to drive. It somewhat depends on the cams you end up using (SVT = high end power, 3L = midrange). You can run SVT or 3L cams in any build type though. Swapping in SVT cams is a pain and the 3L cams are generally better for daily driving anyway so I've normally stuck with 3L cams.
As blackcoog says, the full 3l has more midrange torque,
so when i read that, i take from it, that you don't have to change from 5th to 4th or 3rd to 2nd to accelerate because the full three liter has the grunt at lower rev.s to accelerate without changing up a gear ....G.
