dayummmmm that thing is dirty....



sounds good tho.. glad to hear its back running again

damn loudest racecar I have heard in a while, glad its finally running though and seems to idle smooth.

Thanks Jeff....it is loud. Thought (hoped) the cats would take it down a notch or two. Nope. Does idle much nicer with an IAC, synced TB's, stable valve train, new O2s, etc, etc....just needs a tune.

Dirty isnt the word. F'n gross is a better. Cant wait to get it home (assuming it doesnt puke on the rollers) so I can get back on stands for a little TLC....lots to do before next spring.

Valve covers look good

damn that is scary though...

Which rollers?

Which rollers?

The fight continues but progress is being made. At idle the A/F is within a tenth or two between banks, tbodies are near perfectly balanced in terms of incoming air and the IAC values are near stock. The problem is that theyre fighting a slight synchro issue between intake halves.....in other words, one set opens just a liiiittle bit more/quicker than the other which is playing havoc for A/F off idle. WOT can be done in a couple hours....it's the finite shit theyre fighting now. Throttle response is beyond anything these guys have seen.....progressive linkage may be in order.

You're killing us...

I have to ask...

This isn't a one-off part, right? I mean, Kinsler developed this intake and sells it retail? Shouldn't they have all this shit figured out first?

Yes and no. I'm learning more and more about this system and understand why it cost so much and realizing the tuning nightmares are all true. Though they nominally "set it up" when it leaves their shop, the manifold still needs to be tuned to the engine it resides on. The blade timing between banks would be something that should never change and very well could have been altered when it was torn apart. Fortunately it's a just a mechanical system and with trial and error, a little deductive reasoning, it'll get figured out. The real frustrating part is that we're talking hundredths or thousandths of inches. Once it's set though....done....so they say

[OVRKILL]

All systems a go....

Intake "tuning" is done. They made a few part throttle pulls to confirm. 90 min on the dyno, never got over 195 (no fans were used), idles smooth as silk, they threw 10 more gallons in it , time to make real pulls.

See if we can get past that part throttle 350 @ 3300 torque number tomorrow

If you beat me to the road... I'm not gonna be happy. Not that I'm happy now but that would just be salt in the wound.
