Wish I was closer to you guys, Would love to see what this thing will flow when done...
Bought Mike Davis' old intake. Siamesed way out, notice the missing ridge on the top of the intake port. Even with a set of SLP runners there was quite a gap missing at the top, lol lost the pics but compare to a stock photo and you'd see what I mean, huge hole. I was told there would be a gap but damn it was a space big enough to fit my pinkey finger. Had a welder friend add ALOT of material to the top on the runner port. Gotta port match the runners to the intake now and further siamese out the runners.
Finally getting around to making custom gaskets and start port matching the intake and runners. You can see just how much these puppies have been ported out.
Also have a question for the guru's On the floor of the ports there are 2 holes, they are in every port, well, every pair anyhow, are these something uncovered in porting and need to be filled, or are they supposed to be there?
Most of us are using 52mm or larger. I personally have the 58mm from Summit. I think AZ. S&M has one with a monoblade that flows even more. At some point there are other areas of the air pattern that become more restrictive than the TB though.
Did this thread die out with respect to trying the HSR intake? I am shooting for a setup that will pull to 6K rpms. What TPI manfiold (intake) is working the best for this?
We didnt have a Stealth Ram available to us back in March/April when we did this testing. Also, that would require removing the intake manifold and breaking the seals and I didnt want to do that.
There's another sticky thread that compares the Stealth Ram to other intakes on an engine dyno. Read that one.
