Roller tip option actually makes for less weight over the nose according to Crower.

The Crower stuff is nice and I’d love to know the nose weight compared to the YT stuff.
No standard tip with 1.85 ratio. My intake manifold shipped today and I receive it Friday that's the last thing I'm waiting on. Shipped a week earlier than they originally told me I'm pretty excited. I really hope with thing makes more power up top that's my main goal here.

The main reason behind buying it was I really don't want to cut hood for a hi ram. I've seen a couple and I mean acouple use this intake and it made great power up top NA. Also it looks good I like a good looking engine not perfect but good looking. I may have said it above but I would be 100% happy making 630 rwhpon this dyno through a 6l80e.

Pricey but the msd is just not cutting it up top. Hope this gives me the extra airflow I need. Frankenstein assured me it will make more power than the msd ever will so we will see.

Alittle update here today. My tuner got the car on the rollers to verify where everything is at for a baseline the dark red line is from the last time I was on the dyno. That was my 593 pull the bright red line was today as you can see with no changes the car is down on power up top everything else is the same as you can see from the graph. So before I jump to conclusions I think it's pretty damn safe to say the yella terras are JUNK on the ls7. It only made 575 rwhp today which it pretty damn pitiful that's the least I ever made on the MAMOFIED setup

So this number is without you changing anything on the setup yet, just a baseline?

Correct haven't changed anything yet. He wanted to get a baseline. Pretty sad going backwards in power I was told the yella terras were junk on these ls7s I hope that is the issue here. I know of 4 confirmed cases where ppl have swapped them out on these ls7s and gained power. And had Erik from hpr say he is not a fan of them on the ls7 but he has In fact had good luck with them on other engines. I just hope its not a case were the valve seats are also hammered like Josh's on Corvette forum where that would also be adding to the issue. But he had a more aggressive cam. He changed intake manifold like 3 or 4 times switched to a high ram and the car just fell on its face after 5000 rpm. He finally sold the heads and the next guy had them inspected and the valve seats were hammered.

Here's the guy I was talking about he had the same exact set up minus the cam. I hope this isnt part of my issue.

here is another guy that had issues with the yella terras but on a hydraulic roller setup. looking at my graph you can see mine starts to fall off around the 6k area which is very pitiful for a solid roller set up. I remain hopefully that I can make back the power up top with the new parts I have plus some. My tuner and i knew from day one when this build was done some thing was not right. 4 years ago it made peak power at 6400 rpm then 2 years later I add a vacuum pump, electric water pump and barrel e90 and only pick up 3 rwhp peak. Then today comes and we are down 18 rwhp peak before the new parts are put on obviously something is not right in the vavletrain as we suspected from the beginning. This is where a solid roller is supposed to shine and that just not happening here. I'm going backwards in power.

Will you be swapping out the Yts to the crower and running it up on the dyno again before you put the new springs in? Or will you do a rocker comparison once you have fitted the new springs?
That will confirm your theory of YTs being junk. I hope thats the case otherwise theres no definitive answer to whether its Yts being junk or if its 4 yr old springs losing spring pressure.
Id like to know the answer myself . Im running Yts and if they dont make as much power as the crowers ill drop the Yts real quick.

Definitely will not be doing that. That will just be more money out of my pocket. There's no doubt the springs have lost force but if you read way back in this thread you will see that once my new build was done and everything was brand new it stopped making power at 6400 rpm. My tuner was very surprised on that and commented something's not right but we left it be. That's normal for a solid roller build????? No! A few more mods were added, barrel e90, electric water pump and vacuum pump and what did I pick up 3 rwhp peak? I'm not saying go out and swap you rockers but if you throw some new springs on and see it falling off I would question things too.

In all honesty I would have been better off going with a rpm b3 cam and not have to deal with lash adjustment or checking it and those setups have made 660 rwhp. If you have any questions PM me as I wont be posting in this thread any more. I will post finally results and then I'm done here.

I put 20 cars on a stock hellcat I had a 165 lb passenger. Had a few other races with slower cars nothing to exciting.

I wanna do some weight reduction yet too about 150 lbs from where at now. I'm getting a draggy in acouple weeks for my bday so I'll see what that tells me.
dont be so quick to dismiss the A6 tranny go over to the CF and talk to Subfloorcenturytrans who races a built LS7 and built A6 tranny from Century Transmissions and races it alot and been doing so for years
