the instructions for the fast intake tell you to place a washer behind the pulley to space it out a little bit

top pic is the temporary throttle clearance solution, bottom shows the interference

Spacing that pulley would put the belt out of alignment.

camaro1 · 10-08-2009, 09:27 PM

i dont think it would make that big of a deal brining the pulley out just a little,,

step 10 page 4:

10. if you have a 2010 camaro it requires to use a small spacer to keep the pulley and throttle body from contacting, the spacer is included with the hardware package.

here would be another option:

you can also just flip the throttle body 180* so the motor is on the drivers side, this is what the supercharger and nitrous guys have to do, just get or make a jumper harness for the throttle body.

I didn't used to think so either, but I had a belt squeal for a month on my 5.3 Avalanche. Found that the pulley was 1/16 inch out of alignment. That was all. Moved it back where it should be, then no noise for the last 5 months. That squeal drove me nuts. Besides, it looks like it needs more than that little spacer to clear the throttle body. That one pic of the clearance didn't even have the bolts tightened yet. Looked like it needed 1/4 inch to work.

camaro1 · 10-08-2009, 09:36 PM

ok, then how about turning the throttle body around so the motor is on the drivers side

Thought about that too, gotta hammer down the steam tube a little for it. Don't have time to order the harness extension though. The manifold has to be sent back right after the test is complete. Guess it would have been nice if the instructions were in the box, or if I had decided to look them up on their site.

maybe this next

camaro1 · 10-08-2009, 09:57 PM

does the carb intake fit under the stock hood?, what kind of throttle body?

i thought about the gm l92/ls3 carb intake, then just make a 1/4" plate to adapt the stock throttle body to the carb flange, then a filter like a carb air filter assy like in your pic

antivenom · 10-08-2009, 10:05 PM

That was the funny thing, got the FAST bak off, looked over at the shelf, saw the LS3 gmpp manifold and said what if? Well threw it on, grabbed an MSD throttle body, put it on. Wow it fits. Borrowed a 66 vette air cleaner. Ha ha it fits under the hood. Air cleaner needs to be a little different because is touches the firewall a little. I would rather do an air intake though, but what the hell I really wanted a "retro" underhood photo.

antivenom · 10-08-2009, 10:10 PM

That was the "test fit" stage. Now on to the logistics of making it all work. We are going to make something to convert this throttle body from cable operation to fly by wire. Now this is not needed if using an intake elbow and a stock TB. I seem to think that there is probably some advantage to the 4 small blades coming in progressively. I believe that part throttle response may be amazing.

Any pics of that 10 hp gain with the ported mani?

All right,broke the promise of posting the dyno sheets. Took off early for the mile marker1 run and didn't get around to it. Will try to remember it when I get to the shop tomorrow.
