Sounds fishy to me that it gets deleated before the results are posted. I know where I won't be spending my money.

I posted in your other thread. I have issues with my tranny right now! But I will tell you this, you have to pull from 7-8k for this intake to be worth it. I can`t right now and that sucks!

From what I heard, the initial runs showed the setup gaining something like 40-50 rwhp at 7000 rpm and was still climbing. I don't think the final configuration is complete. Patience.

The most simple sheet metal designs that fit under the hood of an f-body will have short runners, and thus favor high RPM, but this doesn't necessarily have to be the case - see the Wilson LS7 sheet metal intake, for instance, which cleverly packages in longer runners.

BTW, it's possible to have runners so short that you never get real finite amplitude tuning effect at all in the operating range of the engine - the Gen 2 LT1 intake is an example.

Thanks guys. I talk with Joe. He really said I need to shift atleast 7k. I`m going to drive it when I pick her up and see how she does. I`m going to take her to the track and she how she runs. Might run her *** off for all I know!! Joe said on spray she was really making good power. We shall see! If not, someone will save some money on a sheetmetal intake if they want to. My wife said no more money for a tranny

! Might have to sell and get another intake set-up, maybe a Victor. Who knows! this thing does make power up top though I just can`t get to it

If I only had a 6sp

I'll let you guys know in a few weeks how it works with 14lbs of boost.

Boost is a completely different story. The effect on engine breathing of 14psi pressure differential almost completely overwhelms the effect of finite amplitude waves. You'll notice that N/A Pro Stockers have very carefully constructed sheet metal intakes with distinct runners, but a Roots blower drag car just pumps air from blower to intake port in the shortest possible path.

shows a sheet metal intake isnt for a street car!! and since when do you need to shift high on a dyno when making a 4th gear dyno pull?
