Dyno numbers would be great for an accurate reference. Very curious.

turned out great… are you planning on doing a writeup on everything that had to be changed, etc?

also, could you draw or show a pic of the belt routing?

I got mine installed over the weekend. Turned out good.

rough numbers using an iphone app called G-tach, I checked my 1/4 mile times and trap speed.

before was 14.76 @ 107 mph after was 14.18 @ 109 mph. granted it's a phone app and not a drag strip time slip but I can feel the extra pull on top. Sent my Diablosport logs in and there was no changes required after the installation. It was pulling more air on the top end. A/F ratio leaned slightly from 12.5 to 12.6 - 12.7 WOT which is about where it needs to be.

side by side, L86 on left, LT1 on right. I added the silver radiant heat insulation.

Did it feel any different off the line? Just by looking I would have ventured a guess that the truck manifold was better for low end power.

Looks great.....what is the part numbers for the intake manifold and C7 cover? I was thinking of having the intake manifold ported before installing.

Kind of scary changing a manifold required no tuning, either they are mistaken or the intake made absolutely no change except a cosmetic one.
