You would be surprised that someone would look at a picture like you posted and copy it as a working example.
:skep: since when has sharing pictures NOT been about using other peoples ideas? Isn't that what the forum is for?

Default Re: Intake and forced induction (lead foot 85 vet)

the 82 to 85 l98's with the forged pistons rods and cranks are just screeming for forced induction right from the factory but as you can see there's more to it than just throwing a blower on............


i knew the 85 had forged pistons, but are you sure the crank is forged ???

I was told by Mr. Nuke that a GM engineer told him that the whole bottom end of those years were forged....I've searched but have come up with nothing to verify.....he also has an 85.......maybe he'll jump in here.

Speaking of intakes..

anyone have any comments on this one? I'm sure it's been up before, but is there anyone around here with experience with these? I'd LOVE to have one!
