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

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.🤬

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
