I'll sell you a stock, unported LT1 intake manifold and stock unported 48mm throttle body that will support 500+ HP ( at the crank because that's what they are talking about too) for the same amount that they are asking. Deal?

 

good point

 

aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh



ouch this thread hurts.



did someone say there have a lt4 intake for lt1 heads and its not going t be a paper weight?

 

58mm isn't the mone blade. i'm not even sure what mm it would be called. but i know its big.




the 58....





mono...





those are plastic ones but samn thing....

 

damn...would that be too much if you could do that with a stock one to 52?

 

a monoblade would simply be rated in CFM's...

So lets sum it up-
U cant use an LT4 intake with LT1 heads "It features raised intake runners for inporved flow and proper port alignment for LT4 cylinder heads. "
52mm is max bore on a 48mm housing
Bigger isnt always better ie velocity

Consider going to 52mm when u have 400+ flywheel hp.. or if u have 360ish and reving to 7000rpms instead of 5700rpms..

 

never tried but maybe you could bolt a lt4 intake on the lt1 heads, but it wouldn't be right.


just no reason to do it......

 

i think i'll just go with the lt8...

 

lol, i know you know what he meant, but there is a point when to big is too much, and the same applies to the opposite. only thing i can equate it to, is having a tiny little paper ball, taking a deep breath, mouth wide open, and pushing it when you exhale...then do the same with your mouth shut some, and your lips making a slightly larger than whistling, hole. itll go much further this time. then you could try the same with your mouth shut, and barely parting your lips...like using a paperclip to part them slightly to let a minute amount of air out.
