I think it would be worth it. i could only wonder how much better that manifold would be with a turbo/supercharger vs just using the stocker. I bet you would gain alot of power on a Turbo/supercharger app. Gain alot more flow on the top end. It would lower restriction probally see a drop in PSI. Lower IAT temps then be able to bump up your boost a few PSI and saftely make more power

Verdad Gallardo Maybe this has been considered already, but what about using this adapter and relocating the oil pressure sender:

Sure its not the smartest alternative because you are taking an oil pressure reading pre-valvetrain, but its still an oil pressue reading. Then you could just put a plug in the stock hole in the valley cover, right?

Another way would be to use a remote oil filter kit and some fittings...
In the aluminum block above the oil filter there is a port. It just needs to be drilled and tapped.
Found that in the Gen IV section, but I don't know if we have one.

Yeah we do, I guess you could drill/tap it, but I don't think you would have enough room to just install the sender right into that hole, you would need to configure it with at least a 90* elbow or something.

Looking back, I should have gone with the LS2 valley cover and ditched DOD entirely. That would have made life a whole lot easier. This would have let me go with the FAST intake and LS2 DBW TB. Just a small wiring change for the LS2 TB and no need to make an adapter.
There have been a couple of LS7's shoehorned into Fieros with the intake in the reverse (FWD) orientation that managed to fit the 90mm TB's.

My DOD works flawlessly and I never feel or hear it engage or disengage.

Back in 2005, GM advertised up to 12 percent improvement in EPA tests...
http://media.gm.com/division/2005_pr...005i%20LS4.doc
I've driven with DOD disabled, which decreased mileage by 8% for the way I drive, so maybe I save 4-5 liters per week with DOD enabled

Yeah thats a decent enough drop in gas mileage that I would want to keep the DOD. I wonder if anybody will pony up with the $600 to get the edelbrock intake/fuel rails and see if it clears everything. It looks like the hardest thing to over come would be the air inlet tube to the air box.
