Couldn't tell honestly. Just out of curiosity, why not go with an l36 intake manifold if you're concerned about heat soak into the blower housing?


Those injectors aren't a ton bigger than stock, I don't think you'd really gain anything going to logs at this point other than aesthetics.

Yea, like I said earlier ill worry about aesthetics later. But to answer your question, I played with the m90 for a while on a 3.0" pulley which is when I insulated the supercharger so when I went turbo it was just a better choice for me at the time just to keep the current setup and just remove the rotor pack and block off the s/c.

Yea I don't take it out much, it's more for projects and learning. But I know the trans won't last long at all with the stock parts so I'm looking into trans parts now, everyone recommends dave obviously to do the build so ill probably end up doing that.
