I think an ls6 would be better. Seriously though his intakes are beautiful. Just curious how much time does he put into each?

Unless you are running solid lifters and spinning it to like 8K or 8500 rpms then I think there are other intakes just as good or better than a sheet metal intake. Its all in what you want to do with the car.

No, I dont think I have ever heard of them. Marcella used to work at ETP in their cylinder head/airflow department. He knows airflow distribution. Between the quality of his work and knowing airflow distribution, our choice was easy.

Thats a unique concept and looks alot better than the 2in fuel rails and 470lb/hr inj you'd need to feed it if you were running a single set of rails and inj.

Our last manifold had both sets ontop. This time we moved them down low but it will work the same. Can't go really into detail on what were doing but so far so good.
