want to get ideas on intake choices, this is what i got

 

more

 

sorry about the last

 

one more

 

i would just go with the Edelbrock performer RPM. great intake for street use.

and also why do your pix suck so bad?

 

uhhh yeah the performaer would be great if i was going carbureted, been there done that, this motor is going under my tpi in my 86 iroc, i just dont know the best intake combo for it with fi. uhh i think the pix sucked because i was half asleep when i took them and wasnt staying still. anyway, what fi intake would be best for my motor?

 

Ever consider the Mini-ram III?

 

Stealth ram, thats a big intake port probably going to need Felpro 1206 intake gaskets..

 

HSR doesn't fit the Fastburn heads, hence the MRIII.

As for the intake choices, carb or EFI?

 

efi is the way im going, i guess my choices are the mini ram or buying the sdpc base or waiting for the hsr for vortec motors

 

screw the mini ram, buy the LT4 intake from Summit, its 299$ the heads will match, and the mini ram is just like the LT4 without the price.

 

true, i recommend the LT1/LT4 conversion for it. cheaper than mini ram, but will make similar power. LOL

 

yes, i wanted the lt1 , but in talking with john millican , he says the lt1/lt4 intakes will not fit thses heads, that i am in the same boat as the vortec guys, but, i was able to run any carbureted intake i wanted on these heads as long as i used the 1266 felpro gasket, i dont see where the difference would be from the converted lt1 and a regular smallblock intake fitting on these heads, they did come with both regular smallblock holes and vortec holes, i wonder if when i have used the 1266 that it has sucked it up enough to make up the difference?

 

how about the GM ramjet intake? I think you can pick up the intake and fuel rails for less than $500(but don't quote me on that), find an LS1 throttle body, and it should work...I don't know if the intake will cover those ports, but it does have a vortec intake pattern, and its less than the mini-ram.

 

i would just wait for the vortec stealth ram its definatly gonna be the best bet as far as dollars vs performance goes

 

One more option.. I dont know if the vertech base is done yet or not. E-mail ken and ask. Verry nice guy.

Fits a felpro 1206/7 right outa the box. has been ported to a 1208 buy a guy running one in his vette.

 

I TEST FITTED A STOCK TPI BASE ON MY MOTOR WITH A 1266 GASKET AND IT LINED UP PRETTY WELL, ANYONE KNOW ABOUT IT:lala:

 

Itll sit on there nicely....but do it again and look down your intake bolt holes.

 

do you think i could just re drill the intake holes a little and use some small washers maybe with some grade 8 intake bolts and get it to work?

 

If it was possible dont you think we would have all done that?

Just a question.

 

well i dont know in talking to a lot of yall A) some have never messed with fastburn heads in person B) have never messed with 1266 felpro's. that is why i asked the ? because when this motor was carbed before the refresh i could get a regular smallblock intake on it with the 1266. my main ? is is there a size difference between a regular sbc base and the tpi base?

 

Jay, do you still have the red car?

Holley makes the Stealth-ram for vortec heads now!!

Go with the vortec/fast-burn stealth-ram.

Mike

 

No, the bolt holes are just different

 

they probably wouldnt fit the intake ports anyway, ill just get the vortec stealthram

 

There was a Miniram III for vortecs on ebay for $500 a few days ago, might want to look into that.

What size intake gasket do those fast burns take? I know the stealthram is limited to 1205 or smaller IIRC. I just seem to remember people saying 1206s are too big...

The fast burns are probably a 1205 though (190ish cc intake runners)

 

when they were ported they were ported for a 1206 or 1266, they flowed around 310cfm at 550 lift on the 2.08/1.65 valves

 

If you port em that far Im sure you have to re weld them to add some material... or they are super thin when ported to 1206s

 

all i know is they match up to a 1266 perfectly , didnt have any welding done or anything like that

 

I go with the miniram III but thats me I don't like the way the stealth ram looks

oh fast burns are 210cc

 

We we talking about different things

Im worried about matching the intake to your heads. I researched a bit and found this pic, and the only difference in a 1206 and a 1266 is .04", so they are almost ths same..

This pic is of the HSR intake...

 

thats what i thought, the 1266 is double the thickness though? that means that i should be able to make the regular stealthram work right?
