Just felt like taking some pictures of my new goodies and showin em here.







I got the #25'ers in the mail, and now i am just trying to find a good base. should i port the runners out? i have never done any porting, so what would be the best way? thanx.

 

I would port the runners to the gaskets, and the base and plenum also. Align the gasket to the runners and scribe out what has to be removed. Do the same with the rest of the parts. Take a dremel and start grinding, just take alittle bit off at a time.

 

Stock 083's? My guess is your new intake will outflow the heads, as-is.
Edit:
Also, I see you don't have a new base?
IMO, just port if you're feeling lonely

 

what plenum is that?

 

i found it on ebay, its a poslished plenum off an 88 iroc thats been ported out. the cover plate is polished aluminum too.
i cant wait to put these on this weekend.

 

cool, I say wait until you can buy a good base, then port and siamese everything.

 

i know...thats what i planned. but my car died this morning, leaving me without a ride to work.

i am almost 100% sure it's the injectors, because i know i had atleast two leaky injectors, and the shop said one was barely spraying. I didn't have the $$ to get them all fixed cause it was before i started learning anything about the tpi.

the car starts, but doesn't stay running. If i give it gas, it revs fine, but it dies (or tries to) at idle. I am hoping my friend will bring over his compressor and then we might try to do some porting on the base with my roommates die.

 

Did you buy those mystery #25's from SLP? Tell us how they work out for you.

 

yah i did. yah i will post asap. just waiting for them to get here!

 

the injectors were shipped out today, so i get them weds. hopefully i will be gettin an edelbock base from jixxer. then i can put everything on at once.

 

yay! so the edelbrock hi-flo base is mine. so i think i will wait untill i get the base before I fix my car. i don't want to have to take the entire intake apart twice. i am goin back to the track as soon as i get it running. i will post numbers for comparison.
