Where’s the lid off chart? That’s a very interesting component to this comparison- as the air doesn’t like to turn. I’ll bet it had some remarkable results!
so do I if a stock makes more down low to mid under 5500-6000 whats the point even making them, but you have a lot of people making them like BTR, plasmaman so whats the difference between them, these are probably more for boost
@@Eqium Some people use their cars for racing and operate their engines at high rpms, with gear ratios to match, higher rpms than what most road cars operate on. And if stock intakes don't suit their operating rpm range, then they look to the aftermarket. Setup for drag racing is different vs. autocross, setup for autocross is different vs. time attack, etc. Slapping parts on your car without actually having a target performance goal is a waste of money.
Now that you did the no lid test, I want a holdener powered variable length intake runner test. Pull the lid, slap in place runner extensions and then pull those as revs pass 5500 or 6k.
Im printing a variable intake, but for 4.6 2v. 5” of movement on the runners from 15” to 10”. Lets hope i can nail this fast, i’d be more than happy to send it to RH for a test
The low ram is very similar to the stock manifolds on my Buick V6s, not idea for stock to medium cams but decent for the bigger cams. I have a cam set aside for a later project that is 262/262 deg, 303/303 advertised, but even then it's still a bit on the short side for the ideal runner length. But otherwise it's very well designed with a good area for the runners to support pretty wild builds, tapered runner as well. The major difference to this Holley though is the plenum on mine are a sideways oval log-ish plenum which allowed the top side of the tapper to extend all the way to the top of the plenum, while the bottom side is rather short like the Holley low ram. I can't recall exactly on the length of the runner, but the middle (average length) from back of valve to the opening in the plenum is 245mm. Mine is actually called in the community the high ram, there is a even lower ram version used in the previous gen LN3.
Its so strange to see gasoline engine without throttlebody etc. I know diesel can do that, even did with my 6.2D when swapped intake... it just looks so wrong. @@richardholdener1727
I love the way the high ram and even the low ram look, I love the way the sheet metal intakes look… but I am loyal to the FAST because it has gobs more of torque and power over them. Gobs more.
If your toy is a Pantera or Mangusta, you can play around with tall intake manifolds, GMC style blowers, etc. The engine is behind the driver so a "tall" engine is not an aerodynamic or aesthetic concern.
I would love to see a high ram vs low ram on a big gen 1 SBC. I have a Dart SHP 427 small block making 550hp @6400rpm with a Howard's hydraulic roller cam advertised lift I/E .545/.565 duration I/E 294/300. Lob center 110 intake center 106. PN 110275-10. Heads are Dart Pro-1 215. I have been using the FAST Street XFI multiport EFI. It's a batch fire system from 2018 and is difficult to tune. I'd like to swap out to a better system. I'd love to see just how much power I could get with this engine with it still holding together. I could switch to a solid roller cam. The crank is a forged 4.00 stroke. Rods are Scat forged H beam. It has a set of Icon 2618 forged pistons. It has a lot of piston slap when cold.
You Should Do Another HighRam Test ... But Use The One That Has The Water Methanol Injection System On It ... Show How Much Difference Adding That To A N/A Engine Makes ...
When you took the lid off, it made me wonder about 8 stack systems vs hi ram single throttle. Seems to me if both were same overall length, hi ram wins because of lack of turbulence caused by the internal t valve. Ever test this comparison? 8 stack wins the cool factor hands down though!
from this test the ultra low ram from holley would be even more loss in the mid range. that hi ram is hard to fit either cut a hole buy a hood lower the motor lower the k member lol but another note how would the trickflow split intake and elbow do?
@@richardholdener1727 sorry sir I should have provided more info. my situation is a simple twin turbo build sbe l33 5.3 with 366s.I don’t plan on spinning anywhere near where either of them are gonna provide the positives. Plan for a future piston rod 6 liter in the future . But have to use one of them at this point and have a large shearer unit with a low ram already. Due to looking better I previously had a high ram and it was just so tall tho I could use it,I opted to get a low ram just to bring the height down.
Do you have a go to kit for afm 5.3 delete? Do you have a throttle preference wire or cable? Pros and cons for each? Do you have a website with a list of parts tested and combination hp?

Any idea of the wet flow characteristics of the ultra low ram intake? My vette makes 680hp has meth injection with a stock ls1 intake so I need a better intake for my setup.
Hi Richard I have a question the crankshaft turns twice as fast as camshaft So at 7700 RPMs you were talking about the camshaft speed In reality the crankshafts turn in 15,400
Whats a good low profile intake for the LM4/L33, under 6500rpm, street/drag race? I have an LS swap I'm working on where hood clearance is really tight. I was thinking maybe ls3 with adaports but I'm not as familar with whats available for the LS.
Also, wow, all of thouse manifolds are 1000 bucks. I thought LS stuff was supposed to be the more affordable option. The gen 3 intake on my coyote was like $300.
if you can make the boost the same at every rpm-then the shape of the curve is the same. If you make other changes (short-runner intake for instance on a PD blower) or the rising boost curve of a centrifugal-that changes the curve according to the supplied boost
No such as Stupid or unconventional.That would say NDT/DT testing serves minimal gain ; As an engineer you should understand, theirs just the untested! 🍻
Because the short runners can make a little more high rpm power. With some racing you will chase the max power since you can keep it in a small rpm range.
@@richardholdener1727 I phrased it poorly: low ram with intercooler vs high ram with no intercooler, since they end up around the same height so they fit under the same hood. I'm talking about one of the AWIC that goes under the lid.
Great job...unfortunately for me my swap dictated the ultra low ram. I have a stroked and built L33 with a summit stage 4 and related upgrades. Didn't port the heads but I plan to eventually run my 80mm vsr turbo. Compression is a little over 9.5 to 1. Plan on running roughly 10lbs, maybe less..possibly a tad more. Electronic boost controller will give me 15 to 16lb overboost with button. Engines gapped for 15+, everything forged
@ChingoMandinguez well I guess the manifold isn't, it's cast. I'm still using stock valves but I'm pretty sure valves are forged already, material choices aside. Using arp studs top and bottom, full forged rotating assembly, MLS headgaskets, I guess the can isn't actually, they are hardened though. 1 piece chromoly pushrods, link bar lifters(no idea if they're forged), melling 10295 oil pump, billet pickup tube brace. Aluminum oil barbell. Stock accessories but with ict billet conversion brackets. Corvette engine mounts(no idea)...but yes...most of the engine is reinforced. Kinda wish the block was forged instead of cast though...oh well
Oh sorry if you were asking what I meant by everything forged. I was talking about all the rotating and power handling parts of the engine being forged an gapped for 15+lbs of boost. I wanted a somewhat overbuilt engine with a 4" stroke that would live happy reving to 7200rpm and make a daily 650+rwhp for my 3rd gen Rx7. If I later get an AWD porsche I'll do a totally aftermarket setup with BTR valvetrain designed for 10k rpm(look it up online, it's awesome) and limit it to 8500ish rpm...very gt3 territory but with torque! Thats a few years away though
I see SBE 4.8s and 5.3s turning 7k+rpm alot these days. Even boosted. My question is: can a gen 4 SBE 6.0 run 7k+ turbo'd with a stage 3 cam? No upgraded rod bolts needed?
So make the same power but hi ram makes more power lower rpm? Would think once boost is in the low ram be more efficient at lower rpm or match the high ram
I was always told make the intake runners short to get the boost in fast and as the longer tub make more power na because the scavenging same as long tube headers but under boost it doesn’t .??
