Very impressive

 

Wow that thing sounds sick! As said before, very impressive!

 

i have been following your guys builds for a long time, and its great to see the progression. numbers are great, and that engine sound,,, sad to see you guys close but i hope you guys continue playing with these motors and find out what works and what doesnt.

 

Awesome work! Sounds beautiful!

 

Big surprise that the stock manifold is a pile of poo and you made power with ITBs. Not really. Great work guys, sad to see you go.

 

i just wish we could get things things into boltons that the average guy can buy to get those results, too bad. 372 is awesome

 

What is practical and available for the everyday modder thats worth a crap beside spacers being n/a?

 

He didn't make more power because of the change in the manifold. He made more power because the engine had more access to free air. So, no, the stock manifold is not a pile of poo.

 

Actually, that's exactly why he made the power he did: the stock manifold is rubbish, and it was documented by SG the positive changes made to the intake (sans headwork) making huge gains.

I find it laughable that you'd even try to debate me on this one, as there are guys in this very sub forum with more headwork done than SG and haven't even crossed the 300whp barrier on the stock manifold.

 

You could say they blew the lid off the myth that the OEM manifold is sufficient. Or rather, lifted the lid may be more appropriate

Wonder the cost to a consumer to make that power?

 

cams, itb, headers and exhaust

so prolly 5K in parts

well and then uprev to turn off TB codes and to tune the cams/fuel/timing

 

Really? So maybe 6k if you do the install? Hmm my next Z might be a NA monster

 

Sure, if you can tackle something like this. Headers, pain in the ***. Cams, very in depth.

 

And you didn't even mention the ITBs, lol! That's going to be by far the most difficult part....and I doubt the $5k includes the haltech or similar standalone....can Osiris do ITBs? (seriously, I don't know...can it?)

I think you're realistically pushing closer to $10k+ in parts alone...Hell, I doubt $5k could get you just the ITB's if you include the tuning for it!

ITBs....$2.5k?
Haltech....$2.5k?
Cams....$1k
Headers...$1-2k
Exhaust....$1k
Convert to cable throttle....$???
Pistons, Rods, springs, rings, etc......$????
Tune...???

 

Uprev requires a maf so no.

 

Sounds bad azz lol...

Sorry for the, maybe newbish, question. But is he tapping on the brakes as he is accelerating? Seating the pads is the only thing i can think of...right?

 

guys that want to get about the same result ...
please search his built because thats gonna be way much higher than 5k in parts alone !!!

20-25k would be more reasonable to be able to hit anything close to 375whp NA (parts & labour)

 

I didn't know you were some sort of an expert on any of this. No need to be pretentious..

I might not have phrased it the way I was thinking, but I don't think you understood what SG meant, either. I meant that the volume or the flow of the plenum itself isn't much of an issue as much as the actual flow characteristics of the intake tract prior to reaching the plenum.

http://www.sg-motorsport.com/?p=693
Thus, the reason why the ITBs made power was because it got rid of the intake tract, allowing the engine to breathe without obstruction/hindrance. This is one of the reasons why a larger TB/intake seems to make more power.

 

that and making sure his brakes are still working, one thing that scares me is when I want to attempt and late brake, just thinking what would happen if my peddle went to the floor in a almost 90 degree corner going 122mph lol

thats what I thought it was atleast? I could be wrong too lol.
