We will likely make CNC'd runners for both. There may also be an option for LS7 fairly quickly.

I do want to warn, the Hi-Ram is the highest development time of any of the products listed. That is not a problem, but if this is what the customer wants, we will create a thread and update weekly on the development time of such an intake.

Thanks LS1tech!

All are good choices, in my opinion.

Cant wait to see how that would look!

Option 3 for sure. Not as concerned with it fitting the stock hood as much as it fitting under the fbody cowl. If you can do that and not charge a million dollars for it, you have a guaranteed buyer right here

We will evaluate the market. We will likely offer options for stock, 92, and 102. The difference being the bore size of the throttle body mounting plate we machine for the intake.

I can't wait to see how it turns out as well! This seems to be the runaway.

Thanks,
Kyle

Personally, too familiar with the damn f-body cowl. I've changed many intakes, and never want to do it again, but it looks like I'm about to get personal with it again... lol.

Agreed. Like I said earlier, seems to be the runaway product right now.

The one Sam racing developed is killer looking. It fits under the stock cowl.

Sweet! Like I said, if you build it they will come. There is a good demand for a hi ram style intake that keeps wipers...

Would you all consider a pre powdercoating core exchange service for various parts?

TB's, intakes, valve covers, fuel rail covers, calipers as noted, wheels, lug nuts, and misc small items that can be shipped

or maybe hydro-dipping?

If we didn't think it was do-able we wouldn't put it on the poll. We have already started talking about development today. Seems like this is the runaway right now. Corvette forum is having a harder time trying to decide.

Thanks!

Seems to be. Hopefully after this, we can dip into exhaust, but we need to make baby steps first, as we want to provide the highest quality parts with value in mind. In order to do so we are approaching it delicately.

Thanks!

Of course we would consider it. We have a powder-coater here locally that we use all the time. Hydro-Dipping not so much, I will admit that I know nothing about hydro dipping, but there is potential in the future to develop a bit more diversity.

I will mention, we are planning on releasing a very affordable option for mirror polishing. We will be able to perform this on cylinder heads, throttle bodies, valve covers... you name it. We are still developing that line, but I'll give a little preview of what is to come...

Definitely a new intake that doesn't cost thousands of dollars.
