Chingon's Engine Build

Well that is true. I forgot you were running boost. That will definitely make a difference.

I know losing low end sucks but the biggest pro I can see from this intake is it won’t crack on you ever. Main reason why I wanted to switch. Plus if you have gears im pretty sure you wont notice that big a of difference.

Boost seems to help make up for it even though centrifugals are inherently stronger at high RPM, I’d never ever run that intake on a NA car. With the blower and going off that dyno I’d bet what you’ll mostly find is it feels basically stock in normal driving. Speaking for myself, that’s exactly why I went to the 4.30s with my 4V. It makes way way more power up top but in normal driving it felt basically the same as before.

The only way I’d run this intake N/A is if I was running a crazy camshaft and planning on spinning it 7500rpm+ besides that it doesn’t make sense.

I will say, the vortech is pretty boring up until about 4000rpm then it’s a different animal. My hopes are with this intake, the small 268h cams and the peaky nature of the vortech it’ll be making power to 7000 rpm, doesn’t the stock computer suck beyond that rpm???

Anyways, if I was chasing torque I’d rather LS swap and put a 6.0 in it. I have nothing against the LS platform, it’s funny when I see people hate on it haha idiots, it’s a great engine!

In all honestly I wouldn’t even be opposed to k24 swapping I love thier power bands and with a turbo your making 500whp all day plus you’d lose some weight off the nose.

If I still had the parts I'd 390 swap lazarus, with the 3 deuces intake, lol. It's too tall for the hood, but I think it's smaller than a 4v.
