We took it down again today, and with a 73mm C&L, Jeff got 232 hp out of the beast.

(We didn't port anything... Because this was a test, more or less, we wanted to see what it would put out as if a customer were buying it and just throwing it on)

Mine needed alot of port, polish, and machining to get to work. I bet you could pick up some more power....


and all in all you gained 14RWHP (so something like 17 FWHP) which isnt too bad...

I'll probably do that at a later time, like when I get heads.

Hey- how was your intake port alignment with that mainfold?

I had to mill 60 tho of each side of my PP typhoon intake to get them close enought to grind to match.

Wondering if others are having the same problems with indexing this manifold.
Click to expand...

My intake installed quite well. My major complaint was the fasteners that came with the kit. I broke three of them during my first install. You know it is a quality kit when the fasteners break before you reach the specified torque rating for installation. Also, the ports are horribly inconsistent. I evened them up with some ghetto port work for now. It was easy to see where Edelbrock spends the extra time and money... it is called CNC work.

Definately an Accufab on the way. Besides, the TB is hitting the hood, and with those motor mounts too, it sits a little higher.

You offering to help on the turbo? Let me make some more friends first.....

Yeah I didn't use their faseners (bought some grade 8 studs at tacoma screw, makes it much easyier to index with studs) and I knodiced the port incosistancy as well and fixed it with port work.

Nice pics That third pic says it all, Its good to see that you use eye protection when doing your nails Makes a person wonder..... why didnt we ever see the free stuff Misha was scoring
Click to expand...
Misha was getting free stuff? Some times you gotta work it. Why do most people work at speed shops? Parts for their own cars.
Nice intake Jess. I've got the same one but I painted it crinkle black.

Cool to see ya wrenching on your own car.

Yah how come you didn't wear that outfit when working on the car. You could have shot a "Girls of AFP & BOP" while working on your car.
