3.8 intake manifold

I remember reading the same thing somewhere also. Looks like we may have more than one option for an intake spacer now. [img]smile.gif[/img] <hr></blockquote>

I know that ZZP makes t-body spacers for the 3.8L. But I think that is the only kind of spacer they make. They are making an insert metal spacer for the FWD 3.8L, but that is a completely different idea (if one has ever seen the inside of the plastic manifold you will see what I mean).

OK, who would like to be the one to test this out?

I live in NW Indiana, so preferably someone close.

I am working on some other stuff for the next week or so, but after that I should be able to get the prototype one finished.

The person who tests it, gets to keep it for free. I just ask in return that you work with me on making sure there are not any fitment issues, etc.

Also, someone who can or has dyno'ed there car would be a better tester. I have seen some big improvements on a hot engine with spacers on other engines, and expect to see some good results on the 3.8L also.

Let me know.

If you want to send it to me, I'll install it and give you a feedback report! I'm an autocrosser.

how much difference, if any, between the base mainfolds of the fwd & rwd 3800s?

Sorry I haven't posted anything on this lately. I am still unpacking. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wicked:

Are you still game to install this? Sorry this move / etc. has taken so long, but I have one being made at the shop now.

I'll give it to you free if you will do an installation with pictures, and tell me what (if any) longer bolts are needed.

Email me back at cheetah@netnitco.net if still interested.

Thanks.

Cheetah,

If you don't already have a tester for this, let me know. I'd be willing to do it. I'm in the chicago area, and would be more than happy to have you be present for the install. This looks like an excellent product. I can tell you from experiance that the RWD spec L36's intake manifold retains ALOT of heat. Icing it down at the track doesn't even help. Let me know, I'm very interested in this product. Email me at Thomas_Murrin@countrywide.com

For what its worth this custome 3.4L intake manifold was said to dyno 27 hp on a stock f-body 3.4L. Though this motor is in a fiero.

Dual stock size TBs, I think it was 3in. piping, either way not sure if it woudl fit under a stock hood. Also uses a stock 2.8L middle intake manifold(bored a little)

I am impressed and that has now went on my list of things I definetly will buy.

Are you only making a limited run of these or can you make them anytime?

[PiLOTLiTE]

Are longer plenum bolts required? I can't remember how long they were when I took mine off.

[Blazzin Joe]

Has anyone bought this yet? Did anyone step up to buy the prototype piece? If not i have cash in hand and can order today (or wehenever i get a response)...

This looks pretty wicked [img]smile.gif[/img]

[jonny985]

I'd like to see some dyno sheets on how these perform on an f-body. Looks like an excellent product.

The topic isnt dead. turns out crappyday took the beta spot, however he is turning it over to me since he has decieded to stop fiddling with his car.

just an fyi...
