Hi Folks,
Thought you might like to take a peek at my new intake system. The
second casting came out fine - could have been a bit more cosmetically
pretty, but what the heck.
The throttle body is an LS1 75mm and the casting is Pauls. Its a bit
overbuilt (my trademark {:>)) and I could probably reduce the weight of the
casting by 1/3. But, I am pleased with the way it came together, now
hopefully it will perform at least as good as my current one, perhaps a bit
better.
The airways are cleaner on this one. The fuel injectors are away from the
exhaust and block so the fuel should pick up a bit less heat. Just need to
add fuel rail and throttle bracket and I think I am ready to do some ground
runs.
I have not weight it all together, but when I weighed the parts separate
(including injectors) it came up to 8 lbs and 4 oz. So much lighter than my
current 21 lb system.
