got around to finally trying out the upper box i made for my setup.
i was worried about it killing low end. but suprisingly the car feels the same down low. and it may have picked up top end i am not too sure, if it did its not a huge difference.
i didnt take and exact measurements but i really didnt lose much runner length as it looks. on the custom upper there is about and inch of runner and i am running a 1 inch spacer with this intake. plus two gaskets, so without whipping the tape out, i am guessing i only lost like 4-5 inches of runner. not too much, not like i drastically cut the length down...
however it did make the engine a little more responsive while driving around.
so overall i see no reason to take it back off. my line of thought is i am fixing to fab up a turbo kit on a stock block. i will be able to turn the boost up and split the stock block so as far as i'm concerned, so it really doesnt matter what intake is on it.
heres the pics.
btw i ordered some sticky tires that should be here this week. i am hoping to get the car to the track next weekend to what how fast i can get out of it N/A, see if its running good and all and then have a baseline then fab up the turbo kit.
if i feel like it, i may swap the uppers out again and see if there is a difference on that part of it.
let me know what you think
