intake manifold or delete plates??

^ That is true, it is all about your supporting mods.

Would the FRPP Intake Manifold benefit me much over the stock intake manifold with my current setup plus planned NSR cams?

My engine mods are:
SCT X3 Tuner
Steeda CAI with HF Elbow
Steeda UDPs
JBA Shorty Headers
Stinger Alxe-Back Exhaust
Planning on FRPP Hot Rod Cams or Brenspeed Detroit Rocker Cams

Note: Stock throttle body, charge motion plates, and heads - not changing these as $/hp gain is not good for N/A (based on my research).

What do you all think?

 

[navyman8903]

^ what are you talking about. First off, the Heads are better for your power than cams, perspectively. There are F/I setups just running ported heads and stock cams.

If you want to see the most out of your car N/A you should get ported heads, mid range cams, A frpp or GT 500 TB, Supporting boltons, and either charge motion plates or a JPC or FRPP Intake manifold. With some 4.10's.

I lost a bit of torque down low with the frpp. But my car is always in the higher rpms lol... I cruise my car at 3000

are you saying you already have the FRPP intake?

I refuse to get into another manifold debate so I will sum it up like this. Consider an aftermarket intake manifold to be similar to a diet plan:


Your results may vary.

That is the post of the fucken month

Yea I have a proto type, had it since last year..

WTF is this?

Was that with a tune, or just with replacing the plate deletes with the frpp manifold?

I had a stock intake with delete plates, then swapped to the Frpp it lost like 5-8hp and torque down low around 3000 rpms but picked up 8-9 above 5500 on the stock heads and cams. Search for my old test thread.

also 3 lbs lighter then stock lol

And matt is all about saving weight.

Yeah, I remember that thread. Just wasn't sure if you rana tune for the new intake or not.

The air fuel didn't change much at all I think the old intake air fuel was 13.3-13.4 with the new intake it was 13.4-13.5 So I didn't touch it.

Brenspeed is coming out with their own custom billet NSR cams in April. They are called Detroit Rockers. Similar to Hot Rod cams but supposedly has better HP gains.

 

[SirKnightTG]

Oh I see. I never heard of them and didn't see it on their site. It will be interesting to see how they turn out. I like my Hot Rods though.

 

[08BlackGT]

Apparently Brenspeed has been secretly working with Comp Cams in to develop these NSR cams.

There is a video on their site where you can hear the idle. They sound great, but I will wait to see before and after dynos before making a purchase.

I have seen the ports of a 2009 Intake manifold. If your really not looking for F/I anytime soon then I say go cheap, cuz the way those ports look on the 09's can be removed and you could apply some plastic epoxy and use a dremel tool to smoothen it out. (the holes in place of those butterflies )

then just save up and once you decide on going F/I im sure there will be more dyno sheets on the FRPP intake and the C&L ones.
