Ported Intake Manifold

Yeah... You're actually right .
I still have a lot to learn here.




I'm at home in old cars with carburetors

I think my HP Tuners module is the best tool I have. When I put my new motor in & got my baseline tune the old school guys that hang around my shop said it wont run right, can't be that easy. I down loaded the file from Ryan Stevens, turned the key & she lit up with a pissed off attitude.

I am still learning too & have been getting logs all summer. After Ryan was happy (two revisions I think) I kept logging as the weather got hotter & more humid to check for knock events or anything else that might look strange compared to previous logs. I also name my files by date & go to weather under ground & get the atmospherics for that day. I might be over thinking it but I like having data sets.

Nothing wrong with that! All the NHRA racing teams do the same every run. The more data, the better you can fine tune the car!

I agree with ya'll - I keep a good amount of data on my car, taking a log here or there to validate things. I also am fortunate (or cursed ) that being in the industry I end up looking at a lot of data from other folks, whether that's cars I'm actually tuning, or just helping out diagnosing something on. The more you know and look at, and the more familiar you become with that stuff, the more easily you can pick out the things that stand out.

I think the HP Tuners remote-tuning route is super valuable, because not only do you accomplish the immediate goal of getting the car tuned, but you've got a life-long data logging tool you can use for performance evaluation and diagnostics, and now you own the hardware and license, so updates to the tune are much less costly.

Amen to all that Andrew!!

What patience. Glad you finally got it. Reminds me of the old school days when you mail ordered from a catalog and WAITED….no tracking, no correspondence ….nothing!

BTW does the bottom 3” of each end of the intake have any residue from where foam pads might have been?

Sure... There's some room left for the intake

It's great!
And I finally understood the principle of those rods


Just one thing.
It's just aesthetics without functional influence, but as a welder with a state exam...

This could be welded better

If you are going to cam it at a later date the BTR is great choice.

[acammer]

Glad it finally made it's way to you - definitely was a bit of a ride! Can't wait for you to install and enjoy.

No no... I really like this philosophy of modifying OEM parts.
An ordinary nothing special Camaro and you wouldn't believe how I get on the nerves of the Mustangs here





But I see that you have beautiful rear spoilers in your offer.
I'll get back to you when I pick one.

Special thanks to you Andrew.
Without you and your help with communication, I wouldn't have even gotten to your company.
I'm really looking forward to spring when I can devote myself to it.


Thank you
