You can't just go build high flow runners..you have to build the whole system and this is just one part of it. You need runners pedestal y bridge etc all of which russ stated he's working on. This is just a sneak peek. Also put a pressurized substance such as n2O through a stock y bridge and see which way it flows. I'll tell you it's definately not even so yes it does matter.
Yes you can.
How do you know which way it flows? you have a see through y-bridge and underhood camera?
It will follow the path of least resistance. In a pressurized system like a turbocharged one, that path is through the valves. The intake manifold does not influence the flow.

Actually you can. Forced induction, read up on it. The only thing it doesn't like is restriction and bad cam design for it's purpose.
Be interesting to see this piece on an engine dyno for comparison.
First thing I see in the way of larger runners is the turbo, and the other end is the CP3. I would say get the pedistal changed to allow larger runners, and either delete the valley CP3, or make a minor change there.
I have sprayed C02 through an LB7 bridge when removed from the truck, and it does favor one side. The LBZ bridge looked like it flowed the same.
EDIT: Tiago (SIK LMM) has agreed to try a before/after Dyno with his truck.
Good idea Mike, I think I have an LMM (Anthony or Tiago) that would sign up!

Didn't I say the CP3 had to move? That is not a system change but a pump relocation. Saying you can't is giving up. Never get anywhere saying that.
I don't see any drawbacks with removing it out of the valley. Just put a big ass WD cp3 in the location where a 2nd cp3 would go......
I would be willing to test LMM stuff too.
Danville's Dyno isn't that far away. LOL
I'll ask again, since it was ignored earlier....
Tom, boost does not require equal length runners. It just needs more area in our situation. The turbo realisticly needs to be moved as well as the CP3.
Why move the turbo? Realistically, I think the turbo is in an almost perfect spot. I think hello reverse flow heads. Change the cam and let the fabricators begin their work, or do the problems get more complex? I know the valve sizes themselves could be changed etc. etc.
Spraying through the bridge wouldn't give the same results as it being in a pressurized system. It wouldn't have the same effects. Your custom piece does look very promising though. Keep up the good work.
Just a? but has anybody tried mounting the twins like the cummins guys do? both on the side of the engine? I was thinking about going to a single and pulling this year, and doing something with a remote mount, but i think im gonna stick to the strip, and keep the twins. But ive been brain storming about an intake also, making more room for the runners.
Looks like a nice piece! id be will to try one on a lb7 if you need a guinee pig. Im not far from T&T's dyno.

Thanks for the explanation. How much room would you theoretically need moreso than whats there? Another inch or two of height?
What if you make a pedestal that simply tips the turbo up in front?
