Y'all need to watch some Richard Holdener videos on YT. He has many intake manifold shootout vids and you'd be surprised just how good the stock manifolds are. Dyno is one thing. Real life is another.

Very nice what are your thoughts?

 

I got one on the work bench at home that I ported the snout myself to work with a Zl1 throttle.  I just haven't had time to install it yet.

contrary to what all the know it alls with stock trucks above say it performs about the same as the l86 manifold from what i can tell on the butt dyno the only noticeable difference is the vacuum it pulls on the boost gauge. Truck still fries tires through 3rd gear

10-4 that was going to be my next question.  When I was porting mine I had to get rid of the stock O-ring.  I'm just going to silicone to ICT adapter to the snout of the intake.

thatll work my man thats what gwatney reccomends you do if you go to a larger tb i know of a guy with the lt2 manifold with a 103 mm tb and a 200 shot of nitrous so they must be able to withstand some torture

Yeah except nitrous doesnt pressurize the manifold or the throttle body, unless there’s a backfire.

What bolts did you use to bolt you LT2 manifold.  I never installed mine,  then I spun some rod bearings.  So I pulled the motor myself and sent it off to the machine shop.  Now it's got forged daimond pistons 👍.  Since I got it torn apart I'm going to go ahead and install my LT2 manifold.  

 

BUT

 

I though our L86 bolts are to short so I went to buy LT1 intake manifold bolts and they want 23$ a piece at the stealership.  At 10 bolts that's more than I paid for the intake.🤬

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
