Default Check out this new intake for LS7, L92, C5R

I am putting this new intake on my car. I posted up some drawings about 5 months ago. It is finally finished. It has hidden injectors just above the valley plate. Additional injectors up top as seen. It is magnesium with carbon fiber ram tubes. It has transverse counter-rotating throttle shafts and etc.

It is from Kinsler Fuel Injection.

That is beautiful, it must look great when installed on a motor. But i would rather put something like that on a corvette/gto rather than f-body, since half the motor goes under the cowl you wont be able to really appreciate it.

Hopefully less money than the Aussie intake. An ITB set up for $2k or less would be pretty bad a$$.

Good luck with fabbing a breather set up that wont handicap the potential of the intake.

If hes using it on the car that I think he is, he doesn't have to worry because its not an F-body.

If I had that I would have to run a clear hood or no Hood. It's freakin beautiful! How does it work without a MAF though? Is it tuned out?

Thanks guys,

Yes, I am working on carbon fiber air boxes.

Some people have used factory computer in speed density mode.
I chose to use an after market Accel ECU.

I will have dyno graphs before too long.

And Donaimian yes it is going in that car that you are thinking of.

Very trick...is there a common plenum for idle air? I was wondering how that was accomplished? Thanks. Chuck
