hmmmm that could be a problem on the street but at the track it would easily be handled. you think the aluminum intakes would get heat soaked that much?Gearbanger 101 said:Now all we'll have to deal with, is that additional "heat soak" from the all aluminum manifild.
I would rather have the shorter runner design. That way I could have more HP where I need it and I could swap out the 3.90s for 4.30s.Gearbanger 101 said:That's kinda dumb, since the "torque producing" longer runners are pretty much the main thing that the PI intake has going for it. Sounds like a PI/NPI hybrid. I think it's going to flop, myself.
In comparison to the composite intake.....big time. But like you said, it's nothing a couple of well placed bags of ice won't fix at the track.mogs01gt said:hmmmm that could be a problem on the street but at the track it would easily be handled.

Yeah, I suppose that's one way of looking at it for guys with most of the bolt ons, but the stock cams won't do much better at high RPM than they do now. The stock PI intake already breaths more than enough for all but the most radical of combinations, it's now just going to be losing a lot of the low end torque that the longer runners helped produce. It's true that a set of steeper gears will help out some, but I'm not thinking the trade off will ultimately be worth it for your average bolt on car.mogs01gt said:I would rather have the shorter runner design.

yeah true, the average street bolt on car will be better off with the bullit intake or the stock intake. Hell the stock intake is perfect for revving to 6k.Gearbanger 101 said:Yeah, I suppose that's one way of looking at it for guys with most of the bolt ons, but the stock cams won't do much better at high RPM than they do now.

What facts would you like? How about thermodynamics? It's a well known fact that aluminum transfers heat much faster than composite plastic. Why do you think most carb and intake spacers are made of composite instead of aluminum? Do I really have to rip through my old college text books and write the formulas and transfer rates down for you to grasp this?TGJ said:Are you sure about that? What was the Bullitt and SVO intake made out of? I don't know anybody complaining about heat soaked Bullitt or SVO cars on the street. Have any facts to back that up?

TOP PLENUM TEST
Baseline on Nick's car was 266.30. The HPS "plenum only" yielded 272.19.
Three more back to back runs never went under 270!
(production lower manifold test will follow)

the main problem with out 2v intakes is the runners. Nitrous puddles in the runners when/if a nitrous backfire happens, it blows apart the intake. Most other intakes to not have the runner design we have and the puddling problem.SamMan said:So what happens with a nitrous backfire with regards to this intake?
They claim the intake will NEVER crack but Ive seen a vid of an aluminum cobra intake blown into little peices due to a 150 shot backfire. So what you get little aluminum pieces in your valves versus little plastic ones?
Someone please explain the logic to me.
Hmmm I thought the backfire was the FUEL..mogs01gt said:the main problem with out 2v intakes is the runners. Nitrous puddles in the runners when/if a nitrous backfire happens, it blows apart the intake. Most other intakes to not have the runner design we have and the puddling problem.
