Thread: HELP...modified LIM for GenV S/C upgrade

So I bought this 98 GTP with a bunch of mods. One of which is the late model S/C on a 1998. I am replacing the blown engine, #5 cyl has a dime size hole on the edge of it. I pulled the super charger and the Monkey's I bought it from had removed a whole lot more of the intake than I imagined would even be close to correct. From the pictures I have seen here, all that has to be removed is about 7/8 inch to open the manifold to match the S/C outlet. These guys carved it up like a Thanksgivig Turkey!! The large hole on the throttle body end of the intake is where they stopped. The whole manifold is chopped out!! Hopefully I can post a pic. Any advice is helpfull. I am going to gasket match a stock 98 LIM to the 2004 S/C gasket and thats it. Am I correct on this?

Looks just like that but they even went to the other side of the BBV hole. How do I post pics?

ok here is the manifold

i am guessing they tried to gasket match it how i did.

No problem at all. I mean it has it's advantages mainly the purpose of it is to even out the air flow to all cylinders and it helps if you smooth out the bottom how I did as well as the ports on the lim for a much smoother flow.

Well I ported this one to gasket match a gen 3 not a Gen v. If I can I will port it to gasket match a gen v but idk how they look just yet.
