PassionRE Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Slightly crisper on the bottom without, stable, predictable idle with, Boss Racing makes a killer billet model one piece with the crossover out of sight...

fixitrod Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 A lot of builder make their own intakes and they do not include the balance tube. PassionRE, I have seen those manifolds you're refering to. I questin the size of the crossover and it's effectiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I made aluminum block offs for the balance tube ports on my stock intakes.. I didn't notice any difference. I got sick of having the boost botle in there. And I didn't like the way the stock balance tube, (that Led gave me, thanks buddy!!!!) looked in there...

Boonman, care to make another set of those plugs? Id be interested in some... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oilsmoke Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Did you guys see the ones I bought? They were a Great deal. I emailed him and make a set if ones not up on his ebay page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassionRE Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Fixitrod, have you seen one of those in person, the crossover is about 3/4 the normal crossover size and blends nicely in the intake tract...should work good as stock. Screamin Banshee, its really irrelevent if you run a crossover or not on your engine considering the circumstances. They do tend to idle better with them, but most of the engines I build, the people are really not concerned with this and shouldn't be really, especially if they want all out rippin horsepower. I have your cylinders almost ready and hope to ship within the week...waiting on pistons as always...Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 sure, I can whip up another set. I will just have to find my print, or take one out and re-maesure them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fixitrod Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 I have not seen them in person and I agree. They may not be needed at all depending on riding style. Thanks for clearing up that they are close to stock volume though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
