Tim,

The 48mm billet, manifold modification, and 19# FMS injectors were on
the normally aspirated engine.

well I have read yours as well as the one listed on the DML homepage. I
just wanted to make sure that all is suggested when doing V6 mod...I
have seen what Bernd has done but also wanted to make sure it would work
for my normally aspirated...

also, what do you think about the rest...TB...injectors...

BTW Thanks Jon!

I just bought an extra intake manifold and want to know how I should
modify it. I have been reading the archives and just have a few
questions. First off my truck has accell coil, brass cap and rotor,
autolite's, cold air intake, modified TB, exhaust, and soon to be
car-sound cat, powertrax locker, and Jet Chip. I know I am going to
smooth the runners and radius the injector ports. How much should I
take the plenum down. I have heard no more than 1 1/2" and 2". What's
better for my case. I also want to know should I change the TB. What's
better, the fastman TB or the F&B TB? What size bores should I go to
48mm or a 50mm? Is there anything else I should do before I modify my
intake? I will be adding 3.92 gears soon if that info helps any. I do
not plan on putting a SCer or nitrous but am open to the idea of
changing the injectors to 19# or 24#. Thanks!
