After this dyno session, I'm pulling the intake manifold off and sending it to get ported and the plenmum entirely re-worked.


IMHO matching the intake manifold to the throttle body is essential and doing a dyno before doing this is, is a waste of time,

the air intake is still going to be limited by the ports on the intake manifold and worse yet I think you will encounter turbulance......my predication is you are likely to see a reduction in horsepower if you don't match..

FWIW I did enlarge the intake ports from 48 to 58mm when I put on the 58mm TB..

BTW it looks like you are doing a lot of things right, great hp you getting
