Tuning for XV Motorsports intake mani?

Post by Mike_Levy »

Have you guys done any tuning for this manifold yet? I love the style and short runners. Thinking about swapping my ported stocker for this mani when I swap out the Comp 268 for an Arrington 607 cam.

Waiting to hear from AJ to see if they got the new dyno installed at the dealer yet.

Not sure if Johan has played with one here or not, but personally, I would not think I'd want to give up that much runner length in a heavy vehicle, regardless of its gearing...

Those trucks live on torque production.

That had crossed my mind as well. A single plane manifold on a street vehicle normally wouldn't seem like too good of an idea. But searching the web, this type of mani seems to work well from 3000rpms and up, which is where the Jeep is on the highway, while only costing a few ft/lbs down low.

I dunno, we'll see. Maybe we'll stick one on and dyno it to see what happens.

I love that look on that Manifold. On my 5.7 Challenger 6 speed Track Pack. 3.92 gears LSD 20 " wheels. I'm told as yet and have read so far nothing competes with stock Variable Runner intake. I'm like you. I would like to see dyno numbers on that bad boy. It looks sharp.A price drop also. $1200 buck if I remember correctly. Man Please. Its nice if it backs it up with good numbers for that price range. Pretty dont make power. The VVT Cam and Variable runners 5.7 has a good long strong torque curve. It makes good power down low, mid and high. These 6 speed Challengers with 3.92 gears, 20" wheels at 80 mph turn 1800 rpm. 5th and 6th gear high OD. 1st thru 4th low close ratio. Drag race heaven.
