I have a d15b w/ bolt ons... i/h/e...which aftermarket IM would be best for my setup? Is the skunk2 any good? Could i match the IM w/ a bigger throttle like an LS's or would i have to bore it out?

 

Spade knows all about this.

He was in love with one of them, but I can't remember wether it was the Edlebrock or the Skunk2. I want to say it was the Edlebrock.

When I had my SOHC it was to my knowledge that you could only gain about 2~3 whp with an IM.

 

i thought it was Skunk2. where's Spade?

Spade dyno tested at more than double that I do believe.

Really? Double what?

 

Interesting topic. I heard good things about Sunk2 IM for sohcs (and dohcs).

 

doubled whp than your guess of 2-3whp

I suppose that is not that bad then.

 

If i get the Edelbrock IM for my sohc...would i have to port the intake manifold to match the LS's 60mm? How big is the sohc Edelbrock IM anyways?

 

spade had the edelbrock and got around 6whp gains on a stock d16y8 with just bolt-ons.

edelbrock IM has a 62mm opening.

The PerformerX Was 5whp over the y8 manifold , untuned.

The Skunk2 made the same as the y8 & 2-3whp after extra fuel was added.

You don't really have to worry about matching, you just don't want the TB to be larger than the IM opening.

 

unless you custom fab and make the IM opening larger...

id do it... but i dont know how to weld

 

I'm pretty sure the ITR is 62mm, but I bought a 62mm from BBK.

 

wow 62mm type r throttle body...how much is that going to cost me? a leg?.... or 2?

 

how much do the PerformerXs go for anyways? where could i find one for a great price?
