LS Spyder intake Anyone here running one of these intakes? I have seen it on stewarts NX site. Is it worth the $'s he asks for it or is it a fool tool?

Re: LS Spyder intake Doubt it is worth the dough but I noticed you are in Bellevue. I'm right down here in Maple Valley. I'm gonna try and set up a dyno day and a day to meet up at the track. Shoot me an email or something.

Re: LS Spyder intake You probably wont see anymore gain over an ls6 intake infact you may actually lose torque.Unless you have a big cubed motor then it is not worth the money besides the new holley is out now and can be gutted if need be.Think about what else you can buy with that three grand.

Re: LS Spyder intake it is good if you are runnin high RPMs and/or the gas <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> oh and big cubes it helps as well. it is basically tooo big for a 346 with out the gas or a solid roller runnin 7000 rpm

Re: LS Spyder intake AAron, could you explain to us how a typical heads/cam 346 CI engine that turns, say 6500 RPM, would benefit from this intake due to it being on nitrous? I understand how this intake could be good for VERY high rpm small CI engines or us big cube guys but I'm not clear on how it would effect N2O (which being extremely cold and therefore dense would seem to be able to flow through small areas rather easily.) Thanks. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

oh sorry didnt explain that it is actually because you can get John Stewart to make one for ya with direct port for the gas <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/camaro.gif" border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" /> but it will not help much if any when your not on the gas.
oh also correct me if im wrong but NO2 also make the engine rev out faster which would mean that possibly the air comming in from the stock manifold, towards the red line, becomes some what insufficiant.

Re: LS Spyder intake Aaron, you don't need the extra "air" coming into the motor, that is what the nitrous is for. Its an oxidizer and supplies plenty of oxygen for the combustion cycle.
Besides, you are supposed to shift earlier on nitrous compared to NA for best track results. I used to shift at 6600 rpm on motor, and 6000 rpm on nitrous for the best track times.

Re: LS Spyder intake I saw on the website that the LS spyder is supposed to make up to like 40 hp with extensive mods..... I think these are the numbers I saw It has been a while since I saw it but it was somewhere in that range

Re: LS Spyder intake I have talked to stewart about it and he claims 30-40 hp gains. But at 3200.00 (i think thats what he said) The cost effeciency just isnt there untli you hit a large cube motor that really needs to breathe. I really doubt there is that kind of increase on a stock motor.

Re: LS Spyder intake I thought I recognised the car that was on his site! Seems to be a big cube intake. anyone I have heard running one has an ARE or MTI motor.
