Ron is full of color. All the colors of the RAINBOW !!!
They don't call me the Rainbow Warrior fer nuthin

Ron,
Is there color in that photo? Like a teenie weenie little bit?
Yup... de-saturated 95%. Otherwise untouched.

Ron, can I get your permission to put a 'GOOD P.P.E., BAD O.R.M.' tag on that picture and put it up on a bulletin board at my squadron?
Have at it

I was poking fun at the picture. I was not criticizing. I'm quite sure that my situation looked just as comical to innocent bystanders.
Yup, it was comical as hell watching the passerby's expressions

Everyone is entitled to thier point of view. The gentleman doing the power-washing understood the 'potentials' and avoided setting himself up. That is the key isn't it... understanding the risks and giving them their due attention?

You mean like this?...
I wouldn't hesitate to do it with the suspension under the car. Of course, the usual safety precaution's apply, but I don't see where it would hurt the car. However, I would not do it without the suspension/wheels.

Nobody could be that stupid.

They are not the same, although they are very close. It will not directly bolt in (slightly different bolt pattern), but its close enough that you may be able to 'cheat' it in out of desperation

...I do know for fact that you gave a certain someone inside info regarding the subject, so yes, you were involved, aiding and abetting! BUSTED!
Wrong again. If you'd engage that enfeebled brain of yours, you'd figure it out
The answer is right under your nose

Monzter was able to calculate individual runner CFM.
1. 129
2. 170
3. 156
4. 141
5. 136
6. 138
These correlate well with the pictorial view in the previous post.
A runner-runner disparity of nearly 32%. Ouch.
Here's the crux... these are static flow numbers and an intake is anything but static. Valve events and acoustics play a significant role in manifold function.
For example, a friend of mine was relaying a story of intercooler flow testing, using an inlet 90 degrees to the core such as below....
They found that the air passing by the first row's actually created enough negative to cause backflow through the core. The CFD on my manifold shows a tendency to do this as well.
However, a large number of 'successful' manifolds are built with a 90deg. entry, both OE and aftermarket (Ferrari, Porsche, Lingenfelter, etc, etc). That, in itself, isn't definitive proof, but it does build suspicion that static flow is only a small part of the picture... in fact, it may be so skewed as to be nearly useless.
Maybe some testing would shed some light...

Bring beer, it's 5 o'clock somewhere, probably superdans house.
Have one for me

I'll institute a self imposed ban for 15 minutes.
Let me help you with that...

Wheelman, do you mind if I go through your post and correct your many misspellings?
He did misspell grammar. Just to clarify 'our' position, none of us take issue with mistakes. The problem is usually a lazy attitude or carelessness. That's where I draw the line. All we ask is that people make an effort.

...if they are too lazy to push down the shift key, how do they muster up the energy to open a toolbox drawer to grab a wrench to work on their car?
If you want professional information, make an effort to ask in a professional manner...

Monzter was kind enough to run a CFD analysis on the proposed plenum revision. The goal was to improve three areas... entry into #1, 3 and 4, while reducing the swirling mid-plenum. It seams reducing the swirling was the only item that became 'reality'... it was also of my least concern.
Velocity chart at 20psi...
Thanks again Monzter!

Where's the periods? Where's the capitols? Where's the effort put forth in a legible post so that we may help you?
Please write care-fully in the future.

It may be a stupid question for some guys but, what dose LT1 and LS1 mine?
BOOKS have been written on the differences. In a nutshell, the LT1 is largley based on the original iron small block Chevy, and the LS1 is a cleen-sheet aluminum redesign by GM. There is almost no technical relationship between the two.
Do some Googling... It'll keep you busy for a while.

We took the off-season opportunity to repair the warped plenum.
Cut the old top off, weld on a new .125" top, and re-coat. Nothing to it
Turned out spiffy methinks...

I realize that this is not to be considered a replacement for a wideband. I am just looking for a cheap way to get a rough idea what the AFR's are in my engine. This would not be for tuning as much as troubleshooting.
Bobby,
I gotta play party-pooper here. The intention of this thread is advanced tuning. Its a good topic and I'd like to see it stay on that track.
Grumpy,
I'm moving this to Fuel Delivery.

Hugh,
I'm not aware of any easy/direct way to do that.
Two options are to use an external MAP and either use it for Wolf's load sensor, or correlate the internal to the external.
:lmao:
Post your photography!!

Why is this such a big surprise? She knows that she's the only woman for me... and that you're the only man for me
