Pics of Ballade Sports big bore intake manifold
My new toy from Ballade Sports...made a purchase to gain more HP and TQ...A very happy camper so far. The bore is big. The power and torque pick up is phenomenal from 3K RPM to Redline.

^ No dyno yet...waiting to put on Skunk2 68mm tb and tune it. I bought Skunk2 68mm tb from Ballade Sports too. Alex the mechanic didn't want me to install it may risk running too lean. It was a Saturday afternoon and the tuning shop is closed...
In regard to an OEM tb, it would have a smaller diameter (~62mm) so the full potential of the intake manifold can't be reached. Now the skunk2 68mm is the perfect size for max flow but that requires a tune.

I made 224whp with the following engine mods - so i guess this would be baseline to measure the gain from intake manifold later when i tune it.
F22C
Ballade Sports TCT
AP1 cams
Supertech dual valve springs
Supertech titanium retainers
OEM airbox with snorkle
OEM header
OEM intake manifold
OEM tb
Berk's 3" header back
AEM EMS V.2
10 lbs flywheel
Exedy clutch
tuning at Autowave
excited to see how much i can make with the intake manifold and throttle body...

LOL! nothing out here my friend, just planes and dessert tortoises. I drive 100mi one way to get my car tune. Luckily the tuner that i'm working with is also interested in maximizing the potential of the F22C. I'll post results once I get it tuned and a matching throttle body (maybe header too).
