Dyno day at Track Masters in Huntsville this Saturday. Any of y'all going?
I'll be there with the 5.3 "Squirter project" to get another good "before" number with the '98 F-body manifolds. I'm considering taking some truck mani's and cutting/welding them up to fit in the '92 Camaro since they look like they'll flow better then the passenger log style '98 mani. I dont want to invest in specialty $700 swap headers becuase I will soon be plumbing in my turbo. I just want to see what this project will do at its best before slapping on the turbo and I beleive that these mani's are seriously holding it back. It made 327 rwhp in the 100* heat at LS Fest Last month.
Here's the video from LS Fest.

Dyno day at Track Masters was a fun meet up. I've got a couple videos here.
Fist my project Squirter. It made the same numbers as it did at LS Fest. I'm currently trimming up some Truck manifolds to fit in the car. Once they're on, I'll dyno again to see if they flow any better.
This is Tyler's C5. After we dyno'd we went out and played a little bit. That video is coming later.

Here's another video for y'all. This was after we got done on the dyno. A couple of us went out to play
The Squirter wasnt running like it should, but we still had a blast.

Clyde and I are buds. We go back at least 15 years or so. Actually I went up to his place a few weeks ago and helped him with a head and cam install. He knows his stuff on these LS cars for sure. He will be tuning my latest project as soon as I get her completed!!!

6SSPEED It's amazing what a little acid, and a lot of mothers polish and elbow grease can do.
Yep thats exactly what they are. I was told that the 853's with a little bigger valve and some hand porting would really wake up my car. I sure hope so because I've spent a lot of sleepless nights getting them to look that good. Do you think that the bigger valves will help. If not at least they shine like a new dime!!!
