well just installed the frpp intake tonight and what a difference. i don't really think i lost anything down low. now, some helpful info. car previously made 330whp and it peaked at 6300 or so rpm and then dropped off but not much. still made over 300whp at 6700 or so. you could certainly feel the powerband drop off after 6500 or so. now it just keeps PULLING till my (now) 6950 limiter. first pull after the manifold i hit the limiter cause it didn't loose power after 6500 at all.

im still on stock valve springs so now the next step is comp springs and rev limiter at 7200 or so. the powerband just moved about 800rpms up and i dont have the hardware to support it right now.

as far as tuning went, no changes were made. richest spot was 12.8 to 1 and leanest spot was 13.1 to 1 which is pretty much where i had it before. although maf counts at the limiter were still climbing, as was VE, and calculated load, which the car never did before.

also installed prothane mounts and what a difference! didn't really notice any vibration at all. car shifts even better now, highly recommend to anyone. easy to install as well.

going to the dyno soon.

Good info. I've wanted to see someone make good with this intake on the street.

did you have delete plates before or stock manifold?

Nope, I had OEM manifold with the IMRCplates still on.

Any updates on this?

I think 7k on the stock valvetrain is pretty wild!

^ very funny lightblade...i determined that failure to be my fault, the way i installed the followers. and it wasn't stock, i had comp springs.

and no updates yet. im taking the heads to the machine shop tomorrow and should be together by saturday.

Well I went ahead and ordered one anyway. With any luck I'll be assembling my motor this week. I already have comp 26113 springs and was able to rev to 7k no problem when supercharged. In fact I went 6800 on the stock springs with the Whipple when I was playing with gear ratios.

same here. 6800 on stock springs for 2 summers of abuse and 0 issues.

+1 on the stock motor and valvetrain i rev'd to 6800 for a year and a half before i built the motor and put in cams and springs. Now I have the limiter set at 7100 with the turbo.

 

[702GT]

I was being sarcastic, I'm just as guilty. I shift at 6700, but when I do my motor I'll be getting new cams, springs, and rockers. I want a valvetrain that can look 7k in the face and say DO IT AGAIN!!

 

[3vs197]

mine will be fine now...i figured out what i did wrong and won't make the same mistake again.
