Default Killer LS7 Mini-Tunnel Ram Billet/Sheetmetal intake by John Beck!
I've been out of town for a while so I haven't been able to post pic's until tonight so here they are!!!! This new manifold sits just shy of 10" high (thank God for my cowl induction hood!) and the runners are machined out of billet with the nice tapered runners being about the same ~7"+ length as the stock LS7 intake

I can't believe how weak the stock LS7 intake looks compared to John's masterpiece. I still have a bit of work to do in order to hook up the MAP sensor and the front vacuum lines plus I'm waiting for the finishing touches my 400+CFM Greg Good heads and a solid roller cam to show up before bolting this baby on so it'll still be a while before I can post results

I'm enclosing pic's of the manifold before the top was welded on and with the completed intake just sitting on top of the motor (not installed). Enjoy

I plan to install the heads and cam and then dyno test the LS7 intake vs. the Beck while the car is on the dyno for a true back-to-back test. Stay tuned for results!!!

Thanks again John for the outstanding craftsmanship
