just the stockers or do any of the other 90 lsx style manifolds give a little better design to face towards the rear?

 

what are you trying to do?

 

I've never seen a conventional face rearwards only the sheetmetal and single planes.

 

You want to go turbo or what? Get some 6.0L headers and flip those biatches.

 

6.0's work the best, and make sure they dont have egr.

Some of you are thinking intake manifolds and some are thinking exhaust. I'm not sure either! I'm guessing exhaust since we're in the FI forum.

 

I think he is talking Exhaust manifolds... something better then Stock but not headers... for a rear-mount setup maybe?

 

i'm going to be doing mine normaly mounted with a crossover going and merging on either the driverside or passengerside depending on what K-member i'm going to get. i'm using 01 manifolds

 

Are you running the stock f body manifolds ? , I heard the vettes flow only slightly better.

Not trying to highjack......I guess I kinda am, sorry.

 

this is what i was trying to do. sorry didnt think about the intake manifold confusion. almost like the old qmp type set up but with 2 exhaust manifolds.

 

y not use something like shorty headers?

 

reason i went with stockers, is, i already have them, dont really see anyreason to get shorties if i see other people using truck manifolds and running crazy numbers

 

i was just thinking of the durabilty of a cast manifold. all the reliable kits ur see out there (non race set ups) use a cast manifold instead of a tubular header. but i guess with the turbo not being mounted directly to them cracking wouldnt be an issue.....hmmm. i still have my stock manifolds but they are ugly sobs and they have emissions provisions on them which i no longer have.

 

the ohio boys have went something like low 8's I believe with the stock exhaust manifolds (6.0)... There isn't much thinking to a good setup these days since there has been quite a few folks that have been there and done that..

 

i know that the zo6 and 6.0 exhaust manifolds were mentioned to mount up conventional style, but i would think they wouldnt clear the stock k-member or something along those lines

 

But honestly what is $450 when you're spending another $8k-10K on the rest of the car?? If you're worried about money go NA!!!

 

its not the money aspect its more the durability. i really like the idea of a z06 maniofld if it would work.

 

arnt the ohio boys doing crazy numbers with 50 dollar truck manifolds?

 

I sold my old jba shorties to ddsniper on this board that are being used in a turbo setup. I think he has a web page linked in his sig, or you might want to check out the pics or give him a pm.

 

That's what I'm talking about... you really don't have to think about it anymore... if you're going with a centri just mock what Kp is doing.. If you're doing turbo then there are a plethera of setups to mock....
