I'm sad that this thread died. I'd love to get some more power out of my 3.0

Can anyone tell me what happened with this thread? Did any progress get made? I am still interested in makeing some performance gains on my 3.0.

I can't help but want to cam the 3VZ-E. Instead of regrinding cams, I'd like to know where I could get cast cores. I wonder if cast cores are even available from some small company in Japan. Then I'll have to track down company with a cam grinding machine that won't laugh at me. I speculate the 3VZ-E would best benefit from much more lift, a bit more duration, increasing the area-under-the-curve, as it's refered to.

My thoughts to all this is:
In-dash remote fuel control, inline with the IAT and/or MAF/MAP sensor & o2 sensor. Trick the ECU into thinking the intake air is much more cooler, then the ECU will send more fuel for a richer mix, And override the o2 sensor. Then you could adjust the Air Fuel Ratio. Thus Remapping the ECM to any performance exhaust, intake, ratios, etc.. installed and would modify signals being read by the ECU and would not allow the ECU to restrict the air/fuel ratio because it has been fooled. Efficiency of combustion is improved (power) & you may even SAVE FUEL. What the */ @ am I talking about. Its a 3.0 not my Granma's Z28. I've also found that driving slower annoys old people, used to be the other way around!

Since this thread resurrected anyway, see the link below. There's an AFM swap that works great, have it on my truck and love it. Makes other mods like cams, headers and others more effective since you can actually draw in more air.

You've got to turn your speakers around, the bass will give you a push.

Can't be done, old adage "No replacement for displacement"!

"You want to make the intake manifold lots better - cut the entire Air chamber off, and design your own. For example from your 3.0L car buddy.(That's me)
1) The air chamber should extend PAST the runners (Even on your style, this will improve charge flow to both the end runners which will always starve when places close to a wall.)
2) The throttle body pipe should be angled into the plenum to some degree."

Does this modified intake manifold fit the 3VZE??? Or can the same thing be done to the 3VZE??? That's exactly what I've been looking for.

Sorry, jumped the gun on that. Just read the rest of the thread and Suprathepeg, I want one!!!! Please fab this intake manifold... I beg you.

I know it's been years BUT !!!
Did this manifold ever come to use ? How well did it perform ?
I would like to have one lol either for a turbo or a sidedraft 48 weber carb for my sandrail, I currently have (3) 44 webers on a fabricated manifold but I use a ton of racing fuel and I think this modded mani would work better
