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

l86 87mm. wanted to go with the lt5 but gwatney said porting it wasnt a good idea with boost because the remaining material was so thin

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.

ah i see im not really familiar with nitrous but i know plenty of people dont like using plastic manifolds with it while others have no issue at all using them

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.
