Which Intake?
So the new engine is in Screamin and running pretty good. I pulled the 1.6RR rockers and swapped in a set of 1.5s due to pushrod rub on the heads. I'll be fixing this issue in the near future and to do so off comes the intake.... I have 2 choices, the performer RMP Air Gap knock off that is currently installed, or a Weiand Action Plus Summit intake. Both are dual plane Vortec style intakes.
Here is my engine specs:
1996 5.7 L31 880 block w/ mechanical pump boss, 0 decked to pistons
"906" Vortec 64cc Heads, 1.94I and 1.60E, machined for lift, screw in studs, multi-angle performance valve job, new stainless valves, all new seats, etc.
Speed Pro, hypereutectic flat top 4VR 6CC pistons
GMPP Hot Cam... Dur. 218I / 228E @ .050 - Lift .525I / .525E - Lobe Seperation 112 Deg.
Factory Roller lifters.
Edelbrock 1806 650 CFM AVS carb
Cater Mechanical fuel pump @ 6PSI
SA Gear True Double roller T/C straight up
Powdered 5.7 metal rods
Stock Cast Crank
Melling Oil Pump welded pick up.
1-5/8 stainless headers into a 2.5" crossover dumped into a single 3" exhaust.
2500 RPM Stall convertor in the 700r4
3.73 rear gears
Any room for improvement? The engine was originally built for the wife's Chevelle not a truck.
Oh yeah, the CRAP Skip White Dizzy is in the recycle bin....
