Question about intake on my new beast This is just barely bolted together. I wanted to make sure I had all the bolts and knew what I was doing, I will finish it off on Monday. Thought I would show you guys what it came out like! I have WAY more pictures if anyone is interested.
New 408 iron block
Eagle 4" forged stroker crank
Mahle 32cc pistons
Scat H-beam rods with ARP 2000 bolts
Custom ground Comp Cam
TSP heads with SS valves, CNC ported, dual springs and ti retainers
ARP head studs
I ported and shimmed the oil pump myself
HMMM not to much more I don't think. The Vortech Supercharger will top it off when it is reinstalled. All of it is going into a 2002 CETA thus the black and yellow scheme!
Oh yess and the reason I posted in here was to ask about the intake.
I read somewhere that GM states you DO NOT reuse the intake manifold if the engine has a peice that breaks, in my case the piston #7 broke, SO do I really need to change the intake manifold? AND with the set up I have, should I go with a FAST intake or is this one okay?

I was wondering about that. Seeing as it is FI I am sure it is getting TONS of air, will the FAST intake make that much more difference?
I have looked in the stock intake and blown it out and I don't know where any debris would hide but the book did say not to re use it? I don't get it.
PLUS the way the car broke, the only damage I ever saw in the whole thing was the chunk missing from the top of the piston. No damage to the valves or heads or anything else. I don't understand the logic behind the warning.
