Question Mods. for LT1 in Cadillac Fleetwood?

Hello,

I recently had an Edelbrock 7107 intake manifold installed on my '95 Camaro Z28 (LT1).

I also have a '95 Cadillac Fleetwood with an LT1 and was wondering if it would take (bolt on) the same Edelbrock manifold as the Camaro?

Thanks.

yes, yes it will. Same LT1 except it has Cast Iron heads, different cam, and exhaust manifolds and ACC bracket setup.

Formula350,

We like it! We also put on the Edelbrock 3809 52mm TB and a K&N CAI. Some improvement in low-end torque, but a much more noticeable boost in the mid range.

Also, the manifold LOOKS great!

I think you are making poor choices and are mistaking throttle response for power. A bigger TB will let in more air with the same TPS percentage.

Longtubes are a good idea the Caddy came bone stock with true duals so he is partway there.

Thanks for all the advice/corrections.

Since I'm very new to this whole game, most of this is "Greek to me." Perhaps "96Capricemgr" could explain his comment to me, and "LT1Man" could tell me what long tubes are (I understood the "dumped" part).

Thanks for the help.

long tubes are full length headers. There are only a few available for the LT1 B/D cars, and they're not cheap. Afterburners are available but not sure on fitment for Dcar
