HOW MUCH POWER IS AN INTAKE SWAP WORTH ON AN 8.1L GEN-7 BBC? WILL THE RIGHT INTAKE ADD POWER? HOW TO SWAP 8.1L INTAKE MANIFOLDS! WILL A PORTED INTAKE ADD POWER? HOW DO I INCREASE THE POWER OUTPUT OF MY 8.1L? HOW TO MAKE MORE TOWING POWER WITH YOUR 8.1L! CHECK OUT THIS TEST ON HOW MUCH POWER A MODIFIED FACTORY INTAKE WAS WORTH ON AN 8.1L BB CHEVY. I RAN A BACK TO BACK TEST COMPARING THE STOCK 8.1L INTAKE AND THROTTLE BODY WITH A MODIFIED VERSION FROM AMOS GARCIA (FAMOUS AMOS).

Richard, please do a Dodge 8.0 (1994-2003 Ram 2500/3500) V-10! I own a 2001 Quad Cab short bed 4x4 with this engine (around 450,000-460,000 miles on the original engine), and with just a crappy K&N intake, cat delete, JBA ceramic-coated titanium short tube headers and a Hemifever 93 octane tune (running on Commiefornia 91 octane), I'm running 0-60 in 7 seconds flat at 1,700 ft. Altitude. It's absurdly quicker at sea level, as even with the tune I have on it, it still runs EXTREMELY lean under w.o.t.....lean enough to cause the passenger side header to glow LAVA red after any kind of WOT run! This thing needs more fuel BADLY.... but I'm still able to turn sub-7 second 0-60s at sea level, and I'm right around a 15 flat in the quarter mile. It absolutely destroys 8100-powered trucks, especially up any grade, off the line, and in a road race. Also obliterates every Ford V10 I've ever run-even the three valve trucks. And it beat the Fords and the GMs even before the tune..... I'd love to see what these engines actually make on a dyno, the way u set them up! Love the content!!

Known as 'the bunch of bananas manifold' it had horrible distribution and runner flow due to the rough/bad internal castings. After throttle body mods....extrude honing, including port/gasket matching the manifold saw significant gains.

Another nice video Richard. What you have done so far would make a killer engine for a tow vehicle. I think that both that camshaft, and that relatively mildly modified intake are really holding the power back. Throw on a set of Yella Terra YT6318 rockers, you'll need a set of semi trick metric socket head cap screws. And then the correct 7/16" pushrod, at least 0.125" wall 4130. It really wants a Comp XM284HR cam, but you have to be super careful about piston to valve clearance, it may need the YT6317 1.7:1 rocker. Billy Godbold told me it could actually be ground on their Gen VII core.

Depends on how heavy a RV you're towing. I had a 2001 Silverado 3500 8.1 and changed cam to high torque and modified intake all from Raylar Engineering. Towing 14,000 lbs there was a noticeble drop in low-end power/torque. I also dropped gearing from 4.10 to 4.56 gears and ran shorty headers. I would only recommend doing the mods if your tow weight is 8,000 lbs, or less

@@ronkirkham3410 I would say the GEN7R at Raylar with mid length runners is your best bet for a more or less bolt on and go application (requires an LS2 throttle body) but there aren't too many options in this arena. If you can find the now discontinued dart carb manifold, its about the only manifold I know of with shorter runners, but it does require a full conversion. Thing is, the displacement of the engine and limitations in the valve guides (for lift) as well as the pistons (again lift) mean that you're heavily machining heads and buying pistons just to run a cam that will support your 6000rpm, and then you still have to feed the engine enough air. The ZZ502 is about as big as you can go without kissing pistons and a 230 cam on a 496 is basically the same as a 210 duration cam on a 6L LSX. I normally agree with Richard that manifold dictates RPM, but if your intake, heads and pistons prevent you from running even a mild cam by BBC standards, then you wont be able to spin it to the moon without tearing into the motor and fixing the limitations.

Try pulling that intake off while the engine is still in the bay. It’s smart to maybe have a buddy come over to help. Super awkward.

Awesome run with one of my all time favorite engines- been a "big block chebbyboi" since the '60s! A question or two; who was the fabricator who welded the manifold- that was good work, not as pretty as I might want, but the lack of warpage, the full vacuum seal says he knew his biz! Next, why was the manifold entry below the throttle plate left so rough? I would have thought that turbulence wouldn't help things at that point. But I just push em' till they either don't go fast or litter the landscape with parts of parts- your channel has begun to "lift my eyes to a higher plane"as it were. Will you be single/double boosting, S/C or other with this combo ?

I fabricated it for free so was done as fast as I could, still took 5 hours. It was done just for a test not for purty so was no need to spend extra time marking it look good.

@@amospgarcia9152 Sorry if I ruffled your feathers! Actually my comment was more about the fact you got it done without warping the manifold- which is why most won't even attempt such a project. Grinding it out, sanding it and all that, comes only after you have sealed up all of the potential leaks- and Richard started by saying the engine and mani were "donated", IIRRC. FWIW, I can weld; I'd trust it for maybe a bicycle or home project, but I cannot do what you did with that aluminum manifold- you get well deserved kudos for that. My further question about the throat of the thing had to do with introduced, visible roughness- I was wondering if something special might be happening there. But thanks for your response, Amos- finishing that mani and it sealing without two gaskets or "playing games" with odd torqueing patterns to try and seat it impressed me, sorry if I mis spoke.

Na you’re all good! There isn’t a lot of good pics on the inside after it was done. It’s probably nicer inside then you’re thinking. You’re not ruffling feathers. I wish more people would modify these for others. Unfortunately I don’t do them and the those who do honestly are not doing what is needed to make good power. They will do one of the three things and then charge to much.

@@richardholdener1727 I wasn’t sure. I figure at some point Edelbrock will probably make a carburetor type intake for these. Considering how popular they are becoming. Just for fun…I’ve been wanting to setup a distributor-less ignition system on an old school big block with a coil on plug set up.
