12.5" X 22" X 3.5" Overall length 30", 3" inlet/outlet, 1142 CFM flow rate. I may trade it in for the larger one that is 4.5" wide

Aeromotive A1000 installed in the G8 gas tank.

A what horsepower level have found that there are gains from a manifold and elbow change like that with a centrifugal?

I think I read that there was no real gain with the NW 102mm throttle body until about 700-800rwhp, but I dont know for certain about the manifold and elbow. Since I like to see things with my own eyes, I'll find out if there any gains when I install the manifold, elbow and throttle body. Thats why I put it under phase 3 of my build, instead of installing them now so a comarison can be made against the stock manifold and throttle body. I also plan on adding a 102mm MAF w/ LS3 card, and intercooler piping on the cold side to match the diameter of them both.

The reason you go to a carb style manifold with big FI is for equal cylinder distribution, not for power.

I hope to hit the dyno Wednesday or Thursday. Waiting on my coil pack relocation kit from Pace so I can install my Pontiac valve covers.

Looks like it is going to be a badass project. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with on the suspension/chassis.

I'm looking to purchase the following items soon: BMR lower control arms, toe rods, front/rear sway bars, total suspension bushing kit. Hopefully one of the vendors on the forums have some deals soon.

Swapping out the single PAC 1218 beehives valve springs for the Lunati double valve springs for some added protection.

My oil and trans coolers also arrived today.

GFORCE1320 · 08-19-2012, 12:38 PM

What are your plans for rear diff or axle upgrades or have you covered that?

We've been selling a few 9" kits to guys doing some crazy G8 builds both here in the US and Australia.

Thanks
