AAM Intake Manifold

D.Stillwell · 12-01-2015, 12:15 PM

When I was at AAM, I was discussing a complete N/A build since thats what I want. This is when the IM was brought up.

So I assume they expect pretty decent gains, but of course FI will benefit way more.

I wouldn't want this intake even though I am FI. Only reason to start chasing that type of power is if you have a built block and are looking for all those little extra percentages.

I could easily make more power now...Turn up the boost controller. Once I get to a point where stock block and traction aren't my stopping point I'll consider hunting for more HP.

you'd make better power if you had 2 turbos.....

I think two is better than one, because more is always better

and you would have two snails if you would have read the tea leaves a little better!

A new manifold designed properly will give literally every z owner who has the stock manifold gains. Na will be about 25+ hopefully. if you are running boost it will be even more beneficial.

If you don't get 25+ hp with the new manifold. We will burn you at the stake.

I don't post often but I think you're all seriously underestimating how finicky it can be to tune VVEL N/A on a new manifold that has completely different resonance characteristics, flow characteristics, and geometries.

The power will all be in the hands of the tuner if you're N/A.

brucelidat · 12-02-2015, 12:11 AM

25whp, I wish, but I really doubt it. If it's anything close to that, I'm def in unless it's ridiculously expensive. I would be very happy if some combination of mods could give me +20whp NA throughout the power band. I doubt just a mani will do it, but I hope I am wrong.

D.Stillwell · 12-02-2015, 03:58 AM

^^Stillen exhaust, g3 intake, and tune gained me ~35whp over stock baseline. And that runs close to 3k price wise if all parts are brand new.

So its not untrasonable to pay 3-5k IF this actually does make ~20whp and especially if made from CF also.

Personally I plan to do cams, full 3" true dual exhaust, fuel + air (may come from this new IM). You guys think I'll make good power?

i think that's an understatement... you don't post at all lol.

20+ WHP I'd be in, even if it's 2k in price, reason is that would put most of use in the
350 WHP -360WHP range, being NA and making those WHP numbers would be worth it IMO.
