Confusion!?!?!
Monday, January 12, 2009 6:57 PM
Ok, so im looking at the 2.3 HO manifold for my LD9, and i have heard good and bad. As fas as i can tell, its better than buyin an OBX or the VENOM intake manifold. But, i have headr it can cost you around 10hp. So i was wondering what needs to be done, obviously i will need some type of adapter flange, along with that i have heard tha the secret cams swap will help (which i have, not installed). Along with that i have read that you will need hp tuners and a full ex, along with header, and high flow cat. I currently have a cat back ex courtesy of N1.

So in all, i want to kno if it works, so if anyone has it done, let me know. Or if anyone can point me to someone that had luck with the swap and knows alot about. I want to kno, what is all needed and involved. Mostly because I heard it was dyno proven to loose HP, and i deff dnt want that!

it was dynoed on a pretty much stock motor. stock exhaust and all which is just dumb to do anyway. stock for stock the 2.3 HO exhaust manifold flows way more than the stock 2.4 stuff some even say the old 90 2.3 HO exhaust mani out flows the 2.4 aftermarket headers we have available. anyone running good times in the 1/4 mile are running the 2.3 HO intake mani so something has to be goin right, maybe im biased since i rock the mani but i love the thing. one dyno cant rule out its potential esp when done in stock 2.4 form. make the exhaust breath better and imo the 2.3 HO intake mani is amazing, i would recommend it to anyone. plus the thing is sex on the motor

Alright! So there will be no need for the hp tuners, cuz i picked the cams up from you, all ill have to do is open um my exhaust as much as possible and ill be in the clear? And what about injectors? Im bound and damned determined to make this supposed "chick" car pretty quick, even before i throw the 16g on it !!

and no you do not need hpt or injectors, they would be nice and would help more, but you can get by without.
