Intake plenum volume calculations

Post  512Fairlane on January 1st 2012, 3:49 pm

We are working on the intake for the 300 LS1 six cylinder project and I was wondering if anyone has some good calculators for determining plenum volume and runner lengths. We will turn this to around 6500 RPM with 3 two barrel (350 cfm) Holleys. Keep in mind that although this is a 6 cylinder, each cylinder is equivalent to a cylinder on a 400 inch motor. Thanks.

Under "head - exhaust calculators" there are a few intake runner length calculators but no volume calculators that I saw.


Now tell us more about this LSx headed monster!!! Pics or links would be awesome. Sounds very inetersting

You want to use a program called PipeMax.

take a look at the manifolds already in production for the ls1 from edelbrock, also look at the motorsports stuff, get close then start TESTING
