Pretty sure he made the bumper longer. It was a treat seeing his car run at Cordova a couple weeks ago. I hope to see it again.

Yes... I modified the front bumper. I'll post a pic when I get a chance to take one.

This intake manifold set up is much better than the stock LT1 manifold. Slight modifications are required to make it work however.

that i can understand...but my question is still left unanswered
did you swap because you wanted a better intake or because of (possible) limitations with a stock(er) intake?

or was there some before and after testing? probably not, there never is

Yes... I wanted a better intake because of the limitations of the stock intake.
There's no need for before and after testing. It's pretty easy to see the difference. Gotta love that 95mm throttle body too.

Re: Finally... dyno numbers for the 'Bird!!!

i was always under the impression that under boost, the intake tract wouldnt be that important (read; as important as NA)

thats why i say "possible" limitations
i bet a monoblade and a fully ported and welded LT intake (knooked and crannied!), that those numbers would still be obtainable (or very very close too.)

anyways, wish the speakers worked on this pos putr, i really wanna hear it

let us know when you hook it and book it
