When I get an intercooler... Its about 41lb/m at 15psi. 21 should give me another 12lbs/m at least.

I vote that you chop that manifold again to make a properly divided manifold. You'd be making more power and spool faster.

But w/o an intercooler, you're failing anyways...

hahahaha you dumb ------- ****, you couldn't have picked a more fail engine to put in there. Its a 60 degree block (think 2.8 ) with dohc heads and firefly lifters, OG timing chain running a timing belt off the og camshaft location
Our local gm dealer wont even touch them they send them to me

What makes you think you know more about my motor choice than I do, you dumb ------- ****? You obviously don't know much about the motor based on what you've said so far. I would say your GM dealer must just employee braindead druggies as techs, but maybe that description better fits you .
I've had this swap running for 4 years, including drag strip and road course time, 220whp on the dyno (naturally aspirated), and have experienced no engine problems whatsoever. I have 20,000 miles on the engine which I built myself.
If I'm a "dumb ------- ****", I guess I should take down all the "dumb -------" ---- I've said about the Holset VGT so you guys don't hurt yourselves using my "dumb -------" information.

I love trolls!

Unfortunately, one can never escape

What part am I wrong on? Are you telling me its not a 60 degree v6 push rod piece of ---- block converted to a dohc running a timing belt thats driven by a timing chain? Are you telling me the lifters are not riding right on the cam sitting on top of the valve like a firefly?

Are you telling me they are not a giant piece of ---- that GM will barley admit that they built due to the all the warranty problems they had with it?

The problem here is that the Canadian is afraid of anything that comes at him with four camshafts. It reminds him of his last family reunion. And who can blame him? All that shaft can be a bit intimidating.

Oh, and a GM tech that can't work on a GM car is the definition of QUANTUM FAIL.

I have no problems working on them, I have done quite a few for many things. They dont bother me one bit, I still think they are the biggest piece of ---- ever made though.


now what am I scared of again?

Agreed. There is a reason most of the cars that came equipped with them were off the road within a decade.
