GEAR M UP Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Well the nitrous is out/gone........ I'm going with the 90mm intake and TB. It looks like there will be some reconfiguring going on to make the new intake work. Basically, going with an F-Body bracketing and moving the coil pack and a few other things. It should look like the C5-R motor picture below w/o the velocity stacks. There goes another week...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTex Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Did you say C5-R or C$-R. Thats going to be sweet. Is this going to be a FAST intake? What are you going to do for a throttle body? The FAST is manual and the current vette's TB is a differnet config than the trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Jeff, are the rockers adjustable? I can't remember what type of lifters you said you were using? If you are using stock type, how much pre-load are they setting it to to start with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Well the nitrous is out/gone........ I'm going with the 90mm intake and TB. Atta-boy, ;) Do it right the first time. The truck intake just looks out of place on a C5-R block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are going to be Comp, but I don’t have any specifics... As soon as I know, I'll post......... Well the nitrous is out/gone........ I'm going with the 90mm intake and TB. Atta-boy, ;) Do it right the first time. The truck intake just looks out of place on a C5-R block. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you say buzz kill .....I was all set to go with the FAST 78 or 90mm intake and larger TB. But the issue is the TB, we can find one that works with the truck fly by wire system. We found one but its not going to be released until next year..... So back to the stock truck intake and we'll polish and port the stock TB and were up and running next week...... The motor will only be in the truck through spring, and then come summer I'll put it in the Z06 with a supercharger or turbo where parts are more readily available.....

BigTex Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Will the stock TB not bolt onto the Fast intake? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stock truck TB bolts on just fine to a FAST 78mm intake. There is no aftermarket 90mm truck style TB out that I know of. Here is a 78 FAST, and if you look hard, you'll see its using an 03 truck TB.

GEAR M UP Posted October 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 We were going for the 90mm to feed this big-ass motor..... I really did not want to spend the $$$ on a 78mm when in 6 months it will be dropped into the Z06 with a 90mm intake and TB.... I wanted the 90mm to workout for the benefits of a very large supercharger or turbo in the Vette.... 800 Hp, with high 9's or low 10's is my goal in the Z06......

nmpianalto Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) I guess you're not worried about breaking it in. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Breaking engines in is for people that don't set correct tolerances.... Top Fuel engines get a good break in, tear-down and assembled in 75 minutes and a couple of throttle whips, then right on the track...
