Just can't leave well enough alone can you Bruce. You were my motivation to stay NA and be patient with my 5.3 setup. Now here you go again... and I can't wait to see what comes of it. Thanks for sharing all the things you try. I respect your objectivity.
I think I'm going to sell the dob (GT500) related components I've collected
and stay n/a. The biggest decision right now is between the Holley and FRPP intakes. I don't know if the Holley needs IMRC plates and everything I've seen for the Holley has a delayed shipping date.
Now that I think about it a GT500 tb flowing over 875cfm wouldn't change a thing with the Bullitt cai because the cai would be the biggest restriction.
I think I'll wait for the exhaust components and intake manifold before hitting the dyno. If they don't improve airflow and power enough then I'll look at the cai and tb.
Does anyone have hard data on cfm per hp requirements? I keep coming up with 1.5cfm per hp but it's all "rule of thumb" and comes up in pushrod motor discussions. If that was true then the stock 3v cai would be good for about 300rwhp and I'm pretty sure that has never happened so I place doubt on the 1.5cfm rule.
