Reply to "CHI 3V Single Plane Intake Needed for Dyno Project"

Yes, with the CHI heads you can mill them down about an inch. They told me I could do that as well.

Cost, I would rather spend the difference on another part for the motor to keep overall cost down, You know more bang for the buck.

Driveabilty ? Dyno only tell you overall hp and torque numbers not real word Driveabilty .

>According to Chris's dyno tests ..it sure appears there is a significant difference in power.
Well they also never tested the weiand 7516 on his motor to know the difference.

Yes if his motor had been put together the right way and lasted more than 150 miles before every failure maybe we would see that . But i've driven that car and in real world it's not a good package. Now it would probably run much differently with fuel injection than a carb. I mean, I know my motor with a carb was not a good package. But the same motor with a Gen7-DFI injection was a whole other story. From idle to part throttle to full there was no Camparison. Dyno numbers can also be adjusted in different ways to show much different data depending how they are setup. Which has been published in many written Articules.

As far as adapter plates, the plates from CHI are matched to that manifold almost perfectly like I said before with only 10 to 15 min port gasket matching to be done. And as you know my car but never been in it, a solid roller cam cleavland ,I'll tell you with that manifold it pulls from 1500 to 7500 rpm with no trouble and drives as if it has a very mild motor which it is not.
