When I worked at virginia speed, they had a flow bench. I'm sure they still have it. If your looking to get it back within a reasonable amount of time, I'de take it somewhere else.

I'm looking for someone I can kind of make an appt with... bring both intake manifolds down there together, flow them, and leave, I know it will take a while to do both of them accurately, but I'd like to watch them do it and see the results in person rather tham just reading a flow sheet.

I'm going to flow my stock 5.3 truck intake Vs the TBSS 90mm LS2 truck intake and see if its worth the swap, Its very simple to do, I just want to know if its worth it.

is that right... well, we can gladly take it to the TRACK....

Thats not a problem. I'd be inclined to take a little of his money on it if he cares to place a little wager on the outcome.... let him know that and see if he accepts. maybe a night at the 1/8 mile will teach him his little lesson... and the 1/8's not even where I'm the best.

Now flowing to intakes isnt going to be an easy task..... If someone has a Jig for the intakes to mount up to thats one thing.....if not its going to take time to get them (the intakes) ready to be flowed....

Im sure the $$ spent to flow the intakes could be better spent on something.... The $150 to flow two intakes could be spend on other things.......

this is true, but there's a couple guys curoius about some numbers on performancetrucks. I'm curoius myself, but I dont know if I'm $150 worth of curious LOL... I didnt know if it'd be very involved or not. I've had heads done, just not intake manifolds, the heads werent very hard to have done at all, just a little time consuming because I was doing 2 sets. Sounds good though, thanks for the info...

Looks like I'll be doing the swap and using the butt-o-meter to check the initial results... maybe a before and after dyno comparo....
