So, I have been stumped on weather or not to carb a LY6 and run it all out with some gas, or do a turbo setup. Right now, the NA with a shot of gas is the easy way out. As well as cheaper. Leaning to the carb setup with nitrous for the car just to get it going ASAP and save some cash. So, while strolling through eBay, I found a intake since I was looking at square port carb stuff. Wondering what anyone thinks about this thing. Would raise the carb up a ton. Not sure if I'm sold on it but just to try something different, I am holding t in consideration.

well its an option, and a cheap one as well. Just be careful with the nitrous and this intake. A buddy of mine just went to Sema and said these intakes are Identical to the china ones that were flexing real bad. He said they had on cut down the middle and the top plenum is extremely thin. Just some advice but let us know how it works if you decide to run it!

Yea, I'm wondering if I use it, if I'll even bother with a plate. Would probably do direct port.

You could get away with a Gen 3 Stinger Plate I bet.

How cool would that intake be with 2-3 foggers? Lol. Just sayin. Lol

I think it would surely look different. Some on FB think it is ugly. I don't mind it at all. But, I want to know if the fuel distribution will work.

I think I would have to go dual 4s with that setup. Fuel distribution.

That intake looks killer. I don't believe I would put a carb on it though. I've been looking at them too. And the Marcella intake is supposed to have the best distribution which translates into almost identical EGT's. I think they would talk you out of a sheet metal intake like that for a single carb. Marcella makes one that looks similar to the Mast. That would work perfect for a single carb. But wow are they expensive. I will bet it would work great with fuel injection though. Hogan makes a good one too.

I like the tunnel ram idea, but it would have to be dual carb. Not only for fuel distribution but also for my self admitted "I like **** sticking out da hood" addiction. The struggle is real. Lol

LOL. Be who you are.

Would be nice to have someone verify the intake is junk or what. Some experience would be too much to ask. Lol. I could always put it on a different smaller engine that won't see serious abuse. Lol

F it, going turbo EFI. Lol

that's because this is exactly what these are...private labeled chinese junk.

I wish I could find a cheaper Chinese brand one. Then I wounding be bothered to try it really.

looks like a distribution nightmare. dual carbs would be sweet looking though.

blow through turbo on top of a vic jr sounds coolest to me. no need for an intercooler either. just inject some meth if the IAT gets too bad. saved money and weight.

At the extreme I'll be pushing, I would not try a carb setup going boosted. I want the individual cylinder timing and fueling as well as all the other features a dominator EFI will give me.

I was eye balling this too, really cheap compared to the hi ram.

I want donminator EFI so badly, but the 3,200 price tag says no. maybe if I was starting from scratch.

how extreme do you plan to go?

ZONES89RS

iTrader: (25)

Want to go full retard. The dominator is 2k, but I guess you are getting other bells and whistles. I may get the HP and save some cash, then get the interface that allows more I/Os anyway. I don't need to control a trans.

That fuel injection would be nice but I think you would find the limits of the stock block before the limits of a blow thru setup

Too many benefits of the EFI for forced induction to keep a car carbed. We all know how old it gets snatching jets out of a carb to get it right. Add a carb hat and piping in the way, and that is just more **** to mess with. I want to adjust at the stroke of a key and know the Holley EFI will do what a carb cannot. Seen the Holley save many engines. That is worth it's weight. Then there is all the other ton of features.
