MrMeanGreen Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Earlier, a few months ago, I purchased some aluminum 6.0L LQ9 heads. 72cc combustion chambers, compression drop, flows like the LS6 heads. Great for boost, even better ported. Then I bought the 6.0L GM gaskets. Additional compression drop, like boost almost as much as MLS gaskets. The plans I call for are a 347 forged block, capable of handling 20+ psi of boost, turbo or supercharger (not sure which at this point). This will be built this winter. Saturday, I made a trip to Dayton and picked up one of these: http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/intake1.jpg http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/intake2.jpg http://www.columbusracinghosting.com/agreen/intake3.jpg The Weiand/Lingerfelter Performance Engineering LS6 intake. Aluminum, flows quite a bit more than the factory LS6 intake, a nice addition to a boosted setup. I believe I'm going the powdercoated route with it, which if anyone has any recommendations for a shop, I'd appreciate some input. Some people claim heat soak issues, some love the intake to death. I'm for the latter, and don't plan on hot lapping the piss outta the car. I'm slowly assembling my entourage of parts. I'm hoping spring is good to me, especially with the new plans for the stall converter-back and some suspension adjustments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I was thinking something along the lines of the Blue-Green Chameleon that my car has. Minor color-changing that matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate1647545505 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Looks good. I'm not feeling the whole green scheme but its not my car. Did the TC end up dieing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 That will look good hiding in your garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattyona12 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 why don't you have the intake runners coated with the thermal barrier coating. I think calico does it. Would have to research it to find out if that would help with the heak soak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've never seen anyone happy with that intake ant. Most yank it and go back to stock because it has issues sealing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird of Prey Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've never seen anyone happy with that intake ant. Most yank it and go back to stock because it has issues sealing right. Don't I know that for sure. You know the new carb'd LS intakes have been machined to accept the rubber gaskets we use know. If you had your stock intake digitized then you could have the rectangular grooves machined into it thus providing a better seal. If not take your time and use plenty of RTV. Don't use the brush on type like I did. Good luck DarkFormula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 i like it mead engineering does powdercoating and since you wont need that ls6 anymore if you would be interested in trading it for work or cash is cool with me (esp if it all happens in the spring time ill deff have cash and my offer to help out is always open as i am available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted September 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I'll be going the turbo route, but not just yet. I'm curious to see the max potential of a P-1SC-1. John, we'll be talking. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna remove the engine in a month to start on the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Best of luck with the intake and P1SC. I think I might have talked myself out of the D1 after all the #7 piston talk going on at tech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
