Here’s a thread I made on the camaro forums about lt1 vs l86 intake

 

the l86 intake outperformed a PORTED lt1 intake

no shocker there, considering the monkey motion you have to go thru to install one is just foolishness

dont forget to pull out the baffle inside the airbox to match the airflow increase down stream

[meirikm]

I have a cold air intake

I ordered the L86 intake mani/throttle body today from rock auto. With seals and delivery to Canada it cost about $475(cdn). Now we wait... I hate waiting

will you be doing a before and after dyno with stock tune ? then a tune and dyno after the bigger parts are installed?

At the moment I’m running bully dog bdx...I know, I know, this isn’t the best option but i do plan to get it professionally tuned/dyno’d. Fun fact about the bdx, when I bought it it wasn’t compatible with my truck. I actually had to talk with bully dog in Texas and they had to make custom tune configurations for me. It took them about a month. But I can definitely tell the difference. Haven’t had any issues for two years now. 
 

Is the tune needed for the l86 tb/mani swap? I heard some people haven’t had any issues.  Not sure if it would have an effect on the bdx or not

when you add more air you have to add more fuel

What are my options for more fuel?

In the tune.

 

i mean the maf should be able to compensate for most of it. forget all my tuning stuff. 
 

might just need a tune for open loop

Oh ok. Got it. I’ve heard some guys have said they were fine without the tune. I obviously want a tune but until I can get one, it’s nice to know if the truck can function without it. I need it for work etc

[pokismoki]

if you want to just pretend to make power, then honestly i would just do a larger throttle body for the l83 manifold, if your not gonna tune it.

 

if you go the whole L86 induction then you might as well do it correctly and install a stage 1 or 2 cam from BTR, then bolt in the lt5 TB with l86 mani. ported or not.  then you'll have a good starting point to go from. and real seat of the pant ride.

I got my parts from rock auto. They came quick but the intake manifold has a cracked port from shipping. . I’ve emailed them yesterday and filled out a replacement form. Hopefully I hear back soon. They’re usually pretty good with this stuff
