Just when you think you are done spending money...
I ported the lower manifold a long time ago and did a light port on the lower plenum. Yesterday I ported the lower plenum alot more and port the upper plenum at the tb and at the end of the neck and took out some more casting marks and used a polishing brush to smooth it all out on my dremel. I haven't taken it out for a drive yet, just fired it up to make sure it all still works. My friend was sitting in the car while I was making sure it wasn't leaking and he began revving it and it stalled, lol he freaked out and I told him I am used to it...
I think it did, I want to point out that I made power to 6500 with bolt ons. And after looking at ALOT of people's NA dynos, I am very happy to see I made power to 7k with more left in it. I think the porting really makes a difference. I wish that I had welding and machining skills and tools to make my own manifold... I could remove so many bottle necks so much easier... Also, I wish there was a bigger TB we could use and keep cruise control and all that stuff, I am betting that is what is holding alot of us back anymore.
i hope not, but i also realize there are always unexpected speedbumps along the way when doing any major project, as long as i keep that in mind i think i will be fine. i just hope i dont screw something up along the way
HOLY CRAP!!! That is my exact problem! wow, makes me want to go out and make this right now! I wish I would have done this when I have my manifold out, lol
If this works, I will have soooo much love for you, lol
On a side note, after driving it with the new work done, it drives alot better, feels smoother, hard to tell faster in 100+ degree heat lol

It worked for me (prior to tuning), but if your tuner puts in the time I think he should be able to tune it out himself or get very close to where its not needed. But if it still happens after the re-work give it a try.
I just stumbled onto this thread. Nice work. Sorry you are having issues. I am 9 months into my build and the motor is in pieces in my office waiting to go to the machine shop to be assembled.
What will this solve?
Assemble it yourself, that is what I did, not hard at all. I hate looking at your thread when it looks like you have everything to do it, but you haven't put it together... It took me 2 days with 2 friends to assemble the motor, install it in the car, and have it ready to run.
that will solve a problem where you get off the throttle and the car goes to idle and it goes too far and stalls

I'll buy the parts, thanks.
I started to assemble it and stopped (after buying the 96.5mm ring compressor)
I am not comfortable assembling it. I'd really feel bad if I had 5digits in parts that I ruined by bad assembly.
