Not going back to the engine cover. It is just a garage wall decor now. Yeah, I sent that guy a message on his facebook page asking about getting something to cover the ugly taped up wires in the sides of the engine. He responded saying "let me see what I can come up with" but never got back to me.

Was able to do a small test on my way home from work, at a stoplight for a minute or so. When I finally made my turn I got on it and I had full 21 degrees of timing. Car pulls great but the temperature is around 70 degrees, cooler than the last time I drove it. Next week there will be a few days where it gets into the upper 80's so that will be a better time to see how the car feels.
Can't go to the track tonight since the NHRA Regional event is going on at Thunder Valley, but next Friday I am going to go. 40% chance of rain right now, will have to see if it clears up. Don't think I will be testing a ported LFX Intake Manifold this year since Jason won't have time to do it, but we will see what happens.

This is really cool, and perhaps even fitting that Magnum would be the guy to test out the LFX manifold on the LLT. If this changes anything substantially then a ported LFX manifold conversion is going to be ridiculous... and the LFX manifold conversion will be THE mod for the LLT powerhouses. I wonder if someone could break 300whp with one at that point? Considering long tube headers... and the cams...
Oh, speaking of which, saw your post in your FI thread... sounds like it's working well already. Any idea when you'll hit the track? Edit: well I guess I'm just slow on the draw because look at that, you posted right when I did...

Wow! Thanks for the info Magnum! Some people are clearly on another level with this stuff. I love to hear people are still trying to get more out the this engine. This is definitely something I would do if you see some decent gains. Keep up the great work

I think with full bolt ons and that intake, and if all the stars align we'll see 300rwhp....or damn close lol.

Love to see this work especially for us SC'd guys. Although I only care about the gains over the looks, I like the look.
Will be following this.

Plus that weight savings yo! Hopefully this works out well, heck even if it performs the same as a ported Al intake manifold with the spacer I would still be all over it! 15-20lbs off the front of the car would be huge. |

 Edit: do you need a LFX TB or the connector and harness?

My LLT Throttle Body bolted right up, no changes needed. The only changes I see that will be needed are the EVAP Solenoid and hard line, the PCV line, and the back bolt is a little too short, you will need a longer one.
I will also be posting a picture soon of something I noticed with this manifold installed.

The car feels like it has more torque down low right now, but the test will be at the track.
There is a lot of room under the manifold right now, sits pretty tall.

In the meantime, I hope magnum will start setting ridiculous lap times... I can't see how the LFX manifold could do anything but help compared to the metal LLT manifold. I know if one of my buddies could swap his aluminum manifold for a plastic composite one he would sell a kidney just to do it ASAP...

Also, Magnum, you may feel more torque (I would assume) due to the fact that the manifold conversion piece is basically a spacer... I would assume it would act similarly to Jason's own LFX manifold spacer, as it seems to raise the manifold about the same length.

It's basically the same as the lfx piece from the factory, just has LLT ports on the bottom side. I feel like the lfx intake probably has longer runners than the llt intake. This setup could possibly further benefit in the low end torque range from my spacer. It's still up in the air if the spacer would help an FI car though. |
