FINALLY!! Holley Sniper Intake Manifold Install on a Gen III Hemi

[@jt438]

I have this intake. Been on my car, since i built it. I swapped from the 3.6 motor to the 5.7. Screams. I outrun 5.7's got it for my future upgrades like the 274 cam. I have a 95mm tb. No injector spacers. No issues from gaskets either. I used AN fittings for everything with the vacuum lines. Mines been on the car for a year. Got the intake when it first came out.

[@officenklocksecurity7776]

Hello, Hemi heads. Just had mine installed with MMX custom mounting plates and then hit the dyno. The tuner is a well-established Hemi tuner and knows his stuff. Numerous pulls later we went to the track to find the car lost 1/2 a second and 3mph in the standing 1/4 mile. After MUCH discussion as to why we think the design of the Sniper is not compatible with what the Hemi wants. The way the air flows into it then to the valves is static. The air is not increased in velocity heading into the cylinders as it does with the original Hemi intake. I now have a Sniper (HOL-837252) for sale (Intake has been powder coated candy apple red) Paid 890CND plus the cost of powder coating. Will take 650 for it plus shipping if required. Located in Ottawa, Canada

[@neverenuff2381]

Dang, the price for research! Well that's good to know, I've been debating on trying out their hi-ram intake but it might provide similar results unless my car sees boost!

[@officenklocksecurity7776]

@@neverenuff2381 Yes it will do the same. You will require custom mounting plates from MMX (www.modernmusclextreme.com/p-311-early-57l-to-57l-eagle-hemi-intake-conversion-plates-by-modern-muscle-performance.aspx) to change the direction of the air flow. These plates and the standard "Sniper" had my throttle body rubbing my hood. The high ram one will need to have the hood cut I think.

Really want to see a dyno comparison between this and the stock 6.4 intake manifold on the 5.7. This one looks better, but the 6.4 gives a steady 15-20hp throughout most of the power band. From low to mid rpm you gain a steady 20hp and then a little less up top, 10-15 if I recall correctly.

Hi It looks like the injector stands could be milled down so the fuel rail fits correctly.

[@neverenuff2381]

That might work, the oil fill through the intake interferes with the mounting of the fuel rail. IMO you shouldn't have to mill anything that comes as a kit. It should be a simple bolt-on.

That's what I did. Cut them, re-thread them And did a little grinding on the fuel rail above the oil filler neck

[@eldiablort1461]

I don't know of a soul who has this IM that has seen positive results. doesn't even work well in boosted apps. The 6.1 is still the best bang for the buck for the boosted apps, and the 6.4 manifold is the best way to go for the NA builds, even some of the bigger ones, and even then you can still go run the 6.1 if you wanted. Interested to see if you buck the trend and get some sort of gains out of it.

[@eldiablort1461]

@Spooky V8 not worth it IMO. Have seen plenty of folks do that over the 6.1 and it’s just not worth it.

[@eldiablort1461]

@Spooky V8 just to be clear, moving to a 6.1 manifold on an NA build wouldn't be my cup of tea either, you'd really need the 6.4 with the active runners. That's your best bet. The 6.1 would be your next best move, but that's not really going to give you any sort of matched gains without a more aggressive cam setup that makes the extra airflow worth it. The Victor for the hemis is based off the 6.1 manifold....and it has all the issues the OEM one usually doesn't, namely the PCV hookups and sealing issues. And frankly, since it's a larger manifold, you really really need to be running super high compression and a large cam to even see some gains with it.....and, for what you get, you could've just had the 6.1 manifold for less money, less issues, with similar if not better gains from that piece. Port it and that's it. If you're not running an aggressive cam profile, there's absolutely no reason to change the manifold at all honestly. That's pointless, just adding an "upgraded" manifold without the complimentary pieces on a naturally aspirated build will actually cost you torque and HP, even with a tune. You need the complimentary pieces to go with it to get something out of it.

@@eldiablort1461 I'm in process building a stroker from an '07 block for my ram 1500. Molnar crank and rods, CP pistons, Inertia cam (274deg .556" lift int, 285deg .558" exh, 110deg sep, duration @ .050" 224 int 232 exh). CID calculates at 397ci. Should be right around 10.8-11 cr. Eagle heads, hellcat lifters (MDS delete), and all the goodies to go along with it. The stock '07 intake has a fairly large port mismatch with the eagle heads, but Inertia told me to run with it - just make paper gaskets and don't worry about the mismatch. I have the charger timing cover to relocate the compressor and alternator because I planned on running an '09+ truck intake. This will never see boost - I just want the most torque possible. I have yet to see two people recommending the same intake. I have read that people are using the newer style intakes with active runners and either locking out the actuator or hooking an rpm switch to the actuator (Inertia says this doesn't work, as the feed to the actuator is PWM and cannot be replicated outside the ECM with currently available electronics). Do you have a suggestion for an intake given the options I have with the charger timing cover?

@@Kettenhund75 i know Stu, I live about twenty minutes away from his house. Eagle heads? Why can’t you run the 392 intake manifold? You might have to yank some control modules and replace them, but...I think that’s your best bet. However, if for whatever reason you can’t, you can actually take one of the eagle 5.7 IMs, port it, and that would do the trick without you having to do a lot of of electronic anything besides the run.
