Either that idea or try extending the hole, but only part that is closer to the back of the intake mani

 

maybe with all of the people on here that would be up for more simple power just from the intake, sending some pic's to f.a.s.t. and asking them to make a intake or even just a top half to bolt to the current one. it would be nice to have a simple bolt on one for the trucks also. there are way more trucks out there than camaro's that aren't made anymore and corvette's.

 

I'm looking for power but I don't want to spend big $$$ for it. Those F.A.S.T. systems are high dollar stuff. Can't afford that. But I can afford a $4 pint of epoxy.

 

Don't waste your $4 unless you want to be the guinea pig.

 

i think with the right tools it could be improved without removing the back plate.

 

Take the 4 dollars and buy a vinyl sticker, I think that would give you more power than the epxoy would.

 

atleast thats what all the imports do , the more stickers the more POWER , ahahahaha . rice , rice baby, duh duh du dududuh.

 

I dont think it is honestly a restriction ... As it appears its opening is larger than the TB which would make the TB a restrictor not the plenum hole. As far as why it open in the middle and issues of air flow are concerned the distance may be differenc from cylinders on the extremety but I cannot see that time would be any differnet. Think about how the air is actually flowing (or more accurately ...being drawn in) the cylinders closest would have to have air make the most radical vector change and therefore be slowest route. The Air flowing to the furthest would be taking the least highest flowing pattern allowing for the velocity to remain more constant. All in all, this is a much better resolution than having an open plenum which is fed only on one end (TB side.)
If anyone has had experience in intake porting or with airflow in lt1/lt4 manifolds you will know what I mean. If you have flowed a large amount of wet nitrous in this situation you will have noticed your EGT's in cylinders 1 and 2 are highest and these are the most likely cylinders to burn an electrode. Having the open plenum design like these illustrates the flow imbalances fairly quickly.

 

ttt for newer members. this is what our stock intake looks like. once again thanks to bigtex for doing this a few years ago
