Something to watch out for when milling your intake manifold!

[@bigdogsportingtonyb2833]

The stage 2 single plane we did for you has more material there because we have lots of experience with milling these intakes for milled heads. Your average runner flow is 391cfm. It's in route 👍

Tell em T. Been trying to help yalls boy here.

Looks like everything is coming together nicely... I can't wait to see it fired up and at the track!!! Hope your summer is going great!!!

[@vrm86gt]

Thanks Todd! yeah my son and I are going to fire it off tomorrow! hopefully I will have successful update video to post!

[@bradbeck4341]

Heck yeah man! Making progress almost there! I'm thinking it's going to run a personal best right off the trailer.

[@vrm86gt]

That would be awesome! Thanks!

[@Diondo26]

little bit of RTV would have solved that leaking Problem too ?? I never use Gaskets anymore ..just RTV and it never leaks ...

[@vrm86gt]

it is fixed with the extra steel plate, I have a paper gasket behind the plate and the o-ring waterneck in front.

[@arturozarate1752]

And.....for 25 years, I've found American made intake manifolds to have more material in that area. China and the chigitty Chan chicken don't cover that gap.

@@arturozarate1752 wait a minute lol. I'm looking at a Edelbrock 29285 right now. It's not milled and the thickness is .355" and the Speedmaster 1-147-052 that we have is .360" so they are the same. You know we like to measure and test everything before we knock it lol. The speed master in stock form have some terrible flow differences on a few runners with one being as low as 214cfm! The Edelbrock in stock form is way better. We see hundreds of these manifolds and sell them ported on Ebay and I would NOT put the off shore manifolds on a engine without first getting it properly ported. Wait till you see the video.

@@bigdogsportingtonyb2833 🤣🤣🤣 allow me to eat a little crow

[@bigdogsportingtonyb2833]

@@arturozarate1752 it's all good. I just checked a overseas dual plane and it was .325" which is definitely smaller and if you mill anything off you will have issues so no crow eating tonight! 😅😅💪

[@GrumpysGarage1978]

any idea how much your guy machined off of the manifold ?

[@vrm86gt]

@@GrumpysGarage1978 it was about 200 thou, since the heads were milled .030 and block was decked this manifold was sitting really high, we had to take quite a bit off to get it pretty close to lining up properly
