Would anyone happen to have a picture or knowledge on the lower intake manifold for a 6thgen? If i'm correct, the port holes should be different sizes than a 5.5gen!
By the way, sorry about the misspelling in the heading! Just noticed it.

It's the same.


Title fixed.


Edit: A worthwhile LIM would be the Z33 unit with accompanying upper. It's better than the FWD manifold for 3 1/2 reasons.

The thing is, the reason the FWD LIM has the uneven ports is because the air going to the rear bank has to make such a sharp turn. This would cause a pressure drop on its own so those port opening are made smaller to try to keep velocity up around the bend. It's a compromise caused by a compromise. The overall port area when you get farther down is the same as the other 3 though. The Z LIM just has more area all the way around.

I sure wish you would have a class on air velocity, heads and intake volume

I know a few people that could use it, matter of fact a class on how a engine works
