Oh ok, I want a MSD since I feel that is currently our best option without hood modifications, but they are just so unreasonably expensive and anytime I see one pop up used its instantly gone. My main goal is to try to get into porting and get some porting tools and try to make my own flow bench. I would love to be able to see the pressure drop tests for myself with my own eyes so I would no longer have doubts about what pieces work and what doesn't.

yeah doing everything ourselves would be ideal. unfortunately i'm not a speed shop, ya know. i should get some good 4th gear stuff this weekend. hope to try this dragy thing out, also. i made a couple 1/8 mi tests with it, but traction is scarce on the street and i had about 200 lb of extra weight in the car. still fun to play with.

Are you still going to post the comparison of the LT1//LT2/MSD?

i probably should. but if we're being honest, at this point i have way too many unidentified logs and don't remember exactly. i can't make an apples to apples comparison of the manifolds as i swapped tbs, as well.

i do recall going over the logs and never seeing the car go above 95 kpa regardless of what combo was on it. i think the inherent design of the air intakes will almost always cause this.

with any luck i will have an over the radiator setup on the car in a couple of months. i really don't see the car going much faster with little things. it's a very basic setup that i feel is at its limit. honestly, i'm surprised it runs like it does given the weight and m6.

Ah those random log files accumulate fast. As much as we all try to give them names and dates, it’s inevitable to have get logs that no attention.

You’re right. At some point the setup is maxed out regardless of IM/TB combo. I know you’ve tried a lot and was hoping to see the final outcome.

As you mentioned in my other thread, OTR would be a great option.

Thanks for the update.
