About to head to the shop to do an oil change and everything before I head to the dyno for a baseline, so I can see where I'm at before the intake.

thx BGKySS for being an early adopter......................I am sooooo looking forward to the results of this. documented gains from a manifold, wow.
if firefighter is 1/2 right, 50hp is a phenomenal gain

I'd love to see before and after dyno graphs. Will you be locking the converter on the pulls?

A couple of thoughts I've been having. One I would think this thing could benefit from some type of Ceramic coating at least in the underside to help with heat soak. I would venture to say something inside and out would be optimal.

Just to clarify my SWAG a few posts ago I was saying 100 HP over the 5.3L numbers.

He hasn't installed it yet but that's a big question to me. I would like to know if it fits under the strut bar too.

Yeah... i know the hi rise needs some cowl triming and a new hood.

The mid rise offering if you read some of the articles actually out performs the high rise up to 6K or so. Then the high rise pulls away the motor also throws a rod at 7K so big deal... lol not really

We are hoping the Holley Mid Rise is an option.

The mid rise only out performs up to around 4800 rpm then the lines intersect and high rise is on top then at 6k rpm the high rise really takes off

I thought it was later than that... I'll have to look at that again but I'm sure you are probably right.

The one thing though is all of those were on a cathedral port 5.3L I really curious to see what it does on an LS3.

So I reread "quickly" the article and I pulled this quote...

"A review of the graph illustrates that the mid-rise actually offered more power than the Hi-Ram up to 4,800 rpm, and kept pace with its big brother up to 5,900 rpm. Only after 6,000 rpm did the high-Ram pull away, but there is no denying the extra 20 hp offered by the tunnel ram design."

So we are both sort of right... lol

Something else I didn't catch when I read this article the first time, this is a stroked 5.3L they made it a 383 ci. So actually it is a larger motor with cathedral ports. IDK details but the bore might be smaller than an LS3 and they made most of the cubes up with stroke. Not sure on that. How that compares to an LS3 IDK.

Yeah this is the graph of those pulls. They say it hangs right there with the high rise all the way up to 5900 but then you could also say the high rise hangs with the mid rise down low too. So I mean it could go either way, there no MAJOR difference until 6000
