This guy did the porting

I think I'm going to send him the l86 intake I have now and have him port it for the 103mm katech I have laying around. I didn't do it before because he needed the 103mm to do the porting job. He was able to send me out a ported l86 intake right away. 

 

Tuner also said the engine was still pulling a bit of a vacuum still and could probably use a bit more air.

 

He does nice work. I've seen a couple of his videos 😋

 

*edit*

 

I wonder if removing the stands inside the manifold would benefit you. Gwatney performance did this on a 5.3 with a cam and they saw strong low end gains, but minimal top end gains.

 

But you have a heck of a lot more displacement, and I imagine a lot more cam then they did. Might be worth looking into?

Nice, gave it a good boost. It's too bad there isn't any aftermarket truck intakes. I feel like there's a lot more power hiding in there, with your cam and displacement. 

 

The l86 intake is great, but I'm wondering if it's to small now?

 

A nice cross ram intake, I bet you'd make another 80+ horsepower without affect low/mid range too much.

I totally agree that there is some more HP on the table. I feel the same way about there not being any truck intakes being made it's depressing. All they would have to do to the MSD Atomic is get rid of the downward angle of the TB opening. I thought about pie cutting it and plastic welding it straight. A minor mod and MSD would have a whole 'nother market with the truck intakes.

Holley makes an adapter for the lt1/l86 manifolds. It allows the tb to sit level but still flow's the way it was designed to. Works on both manifolds.

 

It may clear the belt/pulley? At the expense of clearance from the rad.

Still can't have my cake and eat it too. I have looked at the adapter. It's only 95mm and doesn't look like it can be ported any bigger  and you also still need to relocate drive belt with Atomic. The Atomic is also ported to 103mm and necking it down to 95mm seems bad. That Katech 103mm and l86 manifold ported to the same still seems like the best option. Unless I had something professionally fabricated.

 Here is some some semi stock footage from 4 years ago on another youtube channel I forgot i had. only borla and long tubes and tune. I bought the borla with the flapper valve thinking i needed it for v4 drone. I kept DOD on. Bad move. I'm gonna get the flapper valve taken out of the mid pipe next week. It likes to resonate like a reed instrument at times even though i have it wired open. Also a couple more vids on that channel.

I would say its restricting you big time. Before blower I had vvt delete, stage 2 tsp 5.3 cam in 6.2, 1 7/8 headers no cats, into borla. Made 421 @6200 hp and 469 tq at 3700.

Have any numbers from before the mods?

That seems about right. I had the TSP Stage 3 5.3l cam in my 6.2l before the rebuild. Going from a 376 to 416 is a roughly 10% increase in displacement. 421hp  x .10 = 42hp. 421+42= 463hp my exact HP number that my dyno showed.

 

We also have the same exhaust set-up. 1 7/8 headers, no cats, and borla.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
