not much, you can get a free 30 day trial from their website. most of my cad experience was on autocad '95 lite at school.

 

I might have to download it to try it out. Did they even have 3 dimensional modeling in '95?

 

I'm running a 58MM Holley and the TB bores are appropriately opened up to 58 MM + a tad bit to avoid a step. The 58 mm TB yields about 8 sq inches of flow area compared to about 12 sq inches of flow area in my 4" CAI. You may have a point about the monoblade. Anybody have one laying around that I can do a before/after dyno test on??

Hey Steve, I have a Monoblade sitting in my garage. I bought it about a month ago, just havent had anytime to install it. Let me know what you have in mind, or when you would need it. I would be curious to see the before and after results myself. Do you have any pics of your 4" CAI? Let me know what you want to do.

it did, i was just really bad at it. my class was all 2d drawing. i just looked up tutorials online to get the idea because i finished the class 3 weeks early and was bored.

 

I have a sheet metal intake with six inch runners. If someone can host the image I'll e-mail it so everyone can have a peek. The car gained 47 RWT @ 3000 rpm making more power everwhere until 6100 were it lost 20 some @ 7000 rpm. In the process of recamming the car to compensate and push the powerband back up some.

FYI.....I'm using a ASM monoblade for the TB.

 

Denny,

If you email the file to me I can put it on cardomain and link it. Just send it to the board E-mail.

I know the feeling, I finished my cad class early in highschool and spent a month "carving" a LeMans car out of a solid block on AutoCad 2000.

I have a friend who is going to give me autocad '07 and solidworks '04, if I ever get around to designing a manifold I'll post pics on here. Maybe someone will think it's worth building.

Thats what it started as, would have been cheaper just to get a full blown sheetmetal done.



David

 

thats cool, you're better at it than me then! my schools version was hacked to work on xp and there were lots of errors and lite was real limited anyhow. Good luck designing one!

 

Here's a pic of the 4" CAI. It's probably overkill but at least it's one less thing to worry about. You can see I ditched the MAF with a speed density tune as well to further eliminate any restriction possibility




Steve

 

Yea.
The only thing left that is Ram Jet is the port flanges and injector holes.

 

A K&N set up will flow in excess of 1300CFM with a 12" long K&N filter on it.

 

I'm running a 6" diameter X 9" long cylindrical K&N with a 4" inlet. I should have pretty god flow with that. It's about all I could get crammed in the fenderwell while keeping all of the inner fenderwell plastic intact. I forget the calculations but the K&N should be plenty big enough for the 355 @ 6800.

also,

"Hey Steve, I have a Monoblade sitting in my garage. I bought it about a month ago, just havent had anytime to install it. "

I'll need to take a look at what it will take to open up my twin 58MM bores in the intake manifold to fit a ASM monoblade.
