Intake manifolds are designed to optimize power in a specific rpm range. The best intake manifold is one that optimizes the rpm range you need. If it's a street engine, you probably need one that creates peak torque in a lower range than a race engine. A 2-plane manifold such as the Performer or Performer RPM is good for the street. A single-plane such as the Victor Jr. works better on the race track.

Where do you install the water temp sensor on a small block Chevy?
Best place is in one of the cylinder heads, by the spark plugs. Or, the intake manifold, near the thermostat housing.
Where is the best place to put the oil temp sender on a small block Chevy?
Most SB's from the late 1950's thru the mid 80's only had one location, on top of the block, right behind the intake manifold.
Where is the best place to install water temp gauge on a small block Chevy?
The easiest place is one of the pipe plugs in the intake manifold. There is also a plug on each head between exhaust ports. Either place will give accurate results.
Where is the knock sensor under the intake manifold?
It depends on the car, on my moms 92 camry v6 you had to take the intake manifold off and its the first two sensors, same with my 90 supra turbo there the first two sensors under the intake manifold that are on the side of the block, the best answer i can give you since you dont mention what your working on is to go buy a chiltons or a haynes manual at your local auto parts store
Where is the thermostat in a 8 cyl firebird?
Follow the upper radiater hose from the radiater to the engine block. The part that the hose attaches to on the intake manifold is the thermostat housing. In the housing is the thermostat. Just two bolts attaches thermostat housing to the intake manifold which is attached to the engine block. If you replace the thermostat yourself make sure that you see how the thermostat was before you take it out. The spring side faces into the intake manifold. Drain some radiater fluid before removing the housing or you will spill fluid all over your engine block. Best to do this with the engine cold. Buy a gasket and high heat antifreeze resistent silicon gasket sealer when you buy the thermostat.
What does a Chevy map sensor do?
The MAP sensor monitors the Manifold (Intake) Absolute Pressure, or the pressure inside the intake manifold to make sure the computer is mixing the right amount of air / fuel mixture for the best combustion combination.
What is the best small block Chevy engine?
The 350 has, over time, been the best, most versatile, small block, ever.
Will a 96 blazer 4.3 long block assembly work in a 93 s-10?
Mostly works, however, the 93 intake manifold and probably 93 distributor will not fit. I'm also assuming you will use your old flywheel and starter. Best to find a "vortex" long block and avoid surprises.
Is there a spray sealant for air intake leaks?
Not that I've heard of. Replacing the gaskets and inspecting the manifold for warping or cracks is the best way to stop intake vacuum leaks.
Where is the Knock sensor on a 2001 1500 5.3 V8 Silverado Located and is there a specific way to change it?
There are two knock sensors on a 2001 Chevy 1500 with the 5.3 V8. You have to remove the intake manifold, because both of them are located under it. it is best to replace both knock sensors at one time, and you will need an intake manifold gasket too.

What kind of intake manifold should be used with a 292 grind cam shaft?
The 292 wants to rev, so a single plane intake would likely work best.
Why does 3800 engine intake manifold water leak?
In my Chevy 1500 with the 305 Vortec, the problem was the lower intake manifold gasket, which is the one that seals it to the engine block. On your 3800 V6 (in a Silverado? I didn't know that; I thought it was the 4.3, maybe it's an older or newer year than my body style), it could very well be the same. There is also a coolant line coming out of the manifold, if I'm not mistaken. Could be to the thermostat, but I don't have the truck anymore. To the best of my knowledge, that would be the easiest and cheapest thing to check.
