The thing to remember is that the flow characteristics of this test are the same for ever single engine produced. They are all air pumps, this isn't just an LS intake test, or even just Chevy. This is all engines intake testing. Its the same protocol we have seen since dyno testing began. We know a certain runner length, volume, and velocity will produce peak power in a given rpm range for a specific set of engine parameters. The part that has forever confused me is why major manufacturers for decades discarded all this information and built pure junk motors knowing they could do better.

Went to a Weiand Team G single plane and rolled the fenders again for 28×10. Mickeys and problem solved and now noticable more power up high.

You’re a godsend during all this boredom. Now that you have all of the intakes and required parts let’s see how all of the numbers would look on the typical 5.3 setup. Or at least just heavy hitters. I know there are other separate tests out there, but I like your style of running the exact same combo for all of them to remove most of the variables like cam, heads or compression differences. Keep up the great work, we all love it. And everyone needs to start hitting that like button, 60k views and 2k likes is sad. Don’t be lazy, Richard definitely wasn’t lol.
