What do we know about the z1 lower intake manifold?

Mysilverz · 01-26-2016, 01:51 PM

So I wasn't able to install the lower intake manifold Sunday. I was unsure about how to remove the fuel rail and since I was by myself without another car I decided to wait till this next Sunday to finish the install. I did however go ahead and install the ported plenum. I'm going to try to do a dyno run tonight after work, like 10-11pm central time, and see what the difference is with just this mod then install the lower manifold. I have to say based on feel from driving, I know that's incredible inaccurate, the difference is similar to when I installed the stillen gen 3 intake. Mid to high rpm the car seems to be pulling harder to redline. Also I noticed more traction issues going from 1st gear to second and from second to third.

Any dyno numbers?

I'm heading down to Z1 on the 20th for a tune. I didn't do a base run, which makes my numbers much less useful, I do apologize for that but hopefully some extrapolation can give an idea of the gains to be had.
