How do you plan to battle heat sink that all the other aftermarket non-composit intakes suffer from?

Sheet metal intakes have this problem. That's why you don't daily drive them. They're normally just for all out track cars and I even see them throwing bags of ice on them between runs

2 little updates from today.

Big updates tomorrow

On the car. Aiming to get some data today. May be taking the car to the track and borrowing my buddies drag residuals too.

[STRUGLE]

Oh it looks bad ass for sure

[LoJac963]

Completely bad ass for sure! Can't wait to hear more!

[Intimidator]

That looks amazing...hopefully the benefits exceed the beauty!

[Neil350]

Looks awesome, good to see you're also from Houston.

[EFI]

Man that looks sweet!.

Now powedercoat that thing black and mill a bit of the raised parts (lines and skull) and leave those brushed or raw aluminum. Sort of what the Gen V guys do with their LSA lids.

Looks like the tuned port injection systems used on the 3rd gen camaro from 1985-1992

Thanks guys

So here is where the intake is at

Remember this was a prototype so it was bound to have a couple quirks.

Things to address:
Shift TB up on the flange 1 inch so that the tb motor will clear the port going to fuel system underneath the manifold. For mine we just flipped the tb over and lengthened the wires. This is being addressed for final end product.

The rear of the manifold needs to have a slight angle cut on it so that the rear weld on the plenum cap has more clearance to the firewall underneath the windshield.

Needs some minor corrections to machining errors


As to how it performed.
Well the dyno broke when we were in the middle of tuning it but it is a beast now for sure

We bone stock dynoed this car on a old school dynojet that reads a tad low when I bought the car. The car dynoed 333whp in 4th gear and 366whp in 6th gear (the 1 ratio gear) A8

Before the dyno had putted out on stock timing and the air fuels not having been fully cleaned up yet we were already at 370whp in 4th gear. AFs were 12.8-13 and we were working to lean it out a bit still to near 14 (direct injection likes running a bit lean). Unfortunately as stated the tower that connects the dyno to the computer died though so we had to stop there. My tuner pulled it out for some street tuning and started throwing some more timing at it, it ended up with an extra 7 degrees over stock timing and man it smokes tires down hard.

When the dyno is repaired we will final the tuning and see where we are. We are expecting it to be up around 60-70 whp over stock right now though so we are expecting that 1 ratio gearing (6th) to read 420-430 zone. We will also be doing a e85 tune and seeing if we can get an extra 20hp out of it so....

All this is going to have to happen soon though as next month the car gets ripped apart to start building turbo kit then all hell breaks loose hahah

[Goertz]

Ohh thought yall might enjoy this

Turbo kit I designed and built for 12-14 5.0 Coyote Mustang. Should work just fine on 15+ also

building the last set of fixtures for it tomorrow then everything will be going on a mockup motor on engine stand for pictures. Unfortunately the car has a blown trans (was prior making 900whp on a supercharger) so that has to be addressed before we get dyno numbers

Dude, you are a magician!

[Atomic Ed]

I am baffled by your two waste gates. Care to educate me on what's going on there?

And BTW. I'm learning to TIG weld and I'm impressed with your skills. I find myself looking at penetration, heat zones, etc. and your welds are what I'm striving for. Well done sir!
