So I bought new parts, got used parts back that would not seal, then Had the right Guy fix it.... This is why I say " go to the right guy first ".


all hail the almighty ported IH. I'm having a 2010 space odyssey flash back the way the light is reflecting off those beautiful ports

who is doing the "mono runner/siamese" work now and how much would it cost? I'm thinking of putting my current plenum "up on the wall" to save the sigs and getting the engine repainted. Like to try and see if these injector housings and a mono runner would pick up some top end

I am however worried about low end torq. with the big cams and light flywheel the LSV feels a little soggy until you kick it just a bit and then all hell breaks loose. even though the light flywheel is great for power and revs, it's not so great for launching the car. the heavier flywheel "dumps the intertia" and gets the car moving

I find I need to rev the car a bit more than with a stock zr1 for sure and even with the 4.10 gears it's not quite as "punchy" as I'd like on the hit until I get to 2k revs and then all is forgiven

good news is that it's got enough torq to let the clutch out at idle and not stall the car!

like to hear more about this intake mod. for sure it looks very sexy and has good potential up top. that's where the lsv lives anyway 6k and up!!
