I was an FA newbie then. How new? I drove NORTH of Gimli to look for motels. When the road just stopped 5 miles out of Gimli, I knew then, this was the definition of "the end of the road".

I drove in Flatgod's RL last fall. His IAT are a wonder to behold. He is the original mad genius. Yes sir Mr White T!
Or just completely mad LOL. Hope to get it on the rollers in the next month or so. Then all this silliness can be resolved.

Lol! I'm just sitting with Projekt right now having wings and he says you guys swear the track is up hill

Oh by no means am I saying your car is slow. But in all honesty the track says way more than the dyno.

Maybe it's your tune. You even have a port matched head.

Think your being a little critical. Watch the our pulls at the same time.
not being critical

spinning tire does create the illusion of slow

Turning your intake manifold into a labyrinth of piping is not the answer. Your temps are low though

Well it wont be me But anyone else is welcome to give it a try. KC $500, manifold $200 piping and IC $250, porting, welding and metal fab $1000+. Install $forget about it. I don't regret doing it but would never do it for someone else.

The bulk of the cost would be the metal work. I did all the porting and metal fab work so that was no expense to me.

Keep working @ it though if you insist. It's definitely interesting
whats so inefficient about a tvs?

I do two runs, 1st through 3rd back to back and actually on the start of the second run the AIT2 is lower then the first because the car hasn't soaked as much. The fact that it was 57* ambient out really doesn't do the system justice as the warmer it is out the better the system shines because the KC has more heat to remove. So this is with a TVS 2.5 ring and 2"ic piping. It only looks so dark out is because I fucted with the video so the gauges show up better. Don't mind the Tron soundtrack or my buddies yammering.

Well it wasn't the TVS that controlled his IATs like that if that's what you mean.

The car is going to pull much better this spring. He's revising the air to air.
