Ported Intake Manifold Results

i wouldn't expect to hear anythin untill around 8 pm my time(central) so 6 west coast time, it always takes longer than you expect
 
Something doesn't seem right. Srtbrad and Trainman have both been on here tonight, but haven't posted any updates. I hope nothing bad happened.

Just got back from my son's B Ball practice. The results are in however I wanted Jerry to let everyone know the results since this is his deal not mine. Maybe Jerry will post up soon.:dontknow:

Sorry for the slight delay...I had a 2 hour racketball match..Old grampa needs his workout....gotta keep those reflexes sharp. Brad and I were a little disappointed at the peak numbers but after digesting some of the data I feel this intake will make a real difference at the track. After consulting with Chris @ DC Performance (he did the tune) we feel that the 3rd pull yesterday for a baseline and the 5th pull today were the most comparible due to outside temp., engine temp , etc...in other words the best comparible data. This will take a while, but I will summerize here and then try to post the data in a seperate posting to try to get the columns to line up. Basically the ported intake made a little less HP below 3800 RPM to the tune of from 1 to 5 HP. After 3800 RPM it averaged 8 to 10 HP more from 4500 to 6000 RPM. Hey 10 HP is 1/10th...Yea! When I'm making a run and power shifting I rarely drop below 5000 RPM. On the torque side the stock intake made roughly the same as the ported from idle to about 2000 RPM then from 2500 to 4000 it averaged about 9 Ftlbs more than the ported intake. Peak torque for my engine is at 4200 RPM and both manifolds were equal at that RPM. From 4500 to 6000 RPM the ported intake averaged 8 Ftlbs more. Those are real gains under the torque curve for the high end. Now I will try to put the data in chart form. Sorry this is so long, but after initial disappointment (only 10 HP) I was pleased with the power gains under the curve. I expect that I will gain even a little more when I am running at the track and "Ramming" the air in through my Volant Ram Air rather than sitting static on a dyno with no air ramming in.

This is the best I can do , The spacing changes when you post....Sorry , but the data is there. I will try to get Brad to do a better spread sheet.

AWESOME Jerry!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

To start with, it "looks" fantastic :marchmellow:

We all know RED trucks are faster than the rest, but your #'s prove that :D :D :D

I wouldn't be disappointed with those numbers - it looks like there is increase where you need it and I'm sure combined with the "Trainman power shift" you wil be rolling right along at the track. Great job done by everyone who worked on it - :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

and of course Brad's video is top of the line as usual.

WAY TO GO - now get to shiftin :D :D :D
 
did you have to change tune on this ,,after you did swap ??????
 
Ironhead...No change was needed with the tune, its exactly where Chris tuned about 2 1/2 years ago.
 
Thank you for the info. Hi performance is always a learning experience.

Bill.
