RPM High Flow Intake Bridge (pic's)

I finally finished up a project that I have been putting off. 3" 316L Stainless intake bridge, to replace the Very restrictive stock bridge. It uses the stock factory rectangular O-ring. There will be two 45's and a short extension at the intake side, to clear the coolant line and get it over the intake runner/valve covers. More pic's to come, once I get it in the truck. Yes Matt, this one is yours!!!

tom that is another thing you should do is go to LBZ intake runners while your motor is apart they can be had for 150$ or so... well worth it

Tom, The jigs are made for both LB7/LLY & LBZ/LMM. But if your doing a bridge, I would get LBZ/LMM runners first IMO! BTW- Im not a vendor, so I cant give out prices:eek:.

They look very nice but I bet the flow is no better and what's out there. Someone needs to build an equal flow low rise setup to make a difference. That will require pulling the CP3 out.

Mike flow testing it is in the near future. Im making a jig that will be used on the flow bench. Since the intake runners them self cannot be used on the flow bench, I can only give a diff in percentage of flow between the bridges. Im 100% sure that it will flow better then anything i have seen! I agree that the next restriction is the runners. I've been working on runners, and eliminating the bridge for my 07EC, But they are nowhere near done.

No matter how good the flow through your system it still gets jammed in the runners. Expand the runners if you want to make a difference. Bet there is room.

I agree all the way Mike! The runners are the next step, and on my list. All that air trying to go through the stock bridge, and hitting a wall on the inside, has got to be a restriction feeding the stock runners. Just my way of eliminating an issue.

The Cad drawing of the flange is done, and at the shop. but I have two trucks here that need to be finished, before I start working on my truck again. I think somebody wanted a T6 2.5" raised/tilted Pedistal correct;).
