adams2003 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Im definately going to do an alternative intake manifold. Not any time soon though. I want to get my new motor in and running first and then do the intake etc. Plus I can let you guys go through all the trouble of finding out whats needed.

BenKey Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ben, here is a link to testing of the various intakes with and without the 90mm TB Should make it easier to choose.. Intake Testing from TPIS's website <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, Dennis. SS boon SS posted that in the 402 thread - good info. I think I am going with the FAST. The f-body waterpump seems possibly the easiest route with spacers in there like Jeff did. Fuel rails aren't a major issue, although I plan to go to aftermarket ones later on. That alone will cost in the area of $500 going with an aftermarket fp regulator. I know Nasty Perf. can provide all the necessary stuff to do that.

BenKey Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Check this out. Intake Looks like stock tb would work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Look up the Victor Jr intake from summit or Jegs. You can get it plumbed with the injector bung holes with or without fuel rails. It looks about the same as that link you posted Ben. I've been thinking about that manifold with a whipple. I could run a air/water intercooler off to the drivers side and bring it right in the top of that carb intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well, decided to go ahead and get the FAST intake. Should be here by next week. Will still be a while until I get the rest, but the biggest purchase is out of the way. All I need now is a f-body waterpump, spacers to be able to mount it and the relocation bracket for the pulley. Ordering the bracket in the next day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 As most of you know, I have bought a fast 90 intake, ls2 t.b., speartech harness, t.b. control box, vette water pump, brackets,power steering pump, altern. and crank pulley. I dont know if the vette power steering pump and comp is going to work but should know in about a month. If anyone has already tried these let me know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do you know if you needed all of the other accessory stuff? From what I've seen, it only requires spacer plates to move the water pump out to align with everything else. Or, does the vette wp have the bolt on pulley? Then you would need the one pulley relocation bracket that Speartech makes and you're done. Seems like a lot of extra work/cost to change everything out. Not that cost seems to be an issue with someone going C5R. If you are getting the f-body crank pulley, get one of the real nice dampner's that are made for them. Super nice, but expensive.

kaotik1 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 That is a nasty looking combo. One the intake is it coated or natural? Looks like a ceramic coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's a composite intake, very similar to the stock one. As far as the material goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New year's resolution - to firmly and promptly install all mods bought and paid for? Plus, I already won. They are in my bedroom I don't have a garage.
