New intake at SEMA: MSD Airforce
Comp makes more than cams; a lot more 
I'm just kidding anyway. But you've gotta admit it's really left field for an ignition company to all the sudden want to get in the induction game.
You'd think Edelbrock would have had a polymer hat tossed in the ring by now...

It is interesting the both Edelbrock and Holley have both made cast aluminum manifolds. I would have expected at least one of the "big two" to have gone with a plastic design. MSD actually makes sense. They developed their Atomic EFI system, and these intakes are designed specifically to use it. Kind of a next-step if you ask me.

One thing the announcement of the MSD intake did was spur on the people at Vararam. I think they worked some extra hours over the Christmas holidays to get it ready for field testing which they are now in the process of doing.
Yep. I'm supposed to be getting one myself. We'll see

Well, I'm surprised it's taken this long before someone closed in on the market that FAST has dominated since they developed the first FAST 78 and 90mm intakes. The Vararam intake has definitely peaked my interest. I've kind of given up on the MSD intake.

Mast Small Bore LS3 Heads
Custom spec tight lash solid roller cam
Just waiting on a manifold to put it all together. It's either this or a stock LS3.
I think the original design for the C6R had 2 throttle bodies. This production version is probably being made with 1 to make it easier to adapt to actual production cars. It would be cool if they offered a race version with dual TB's one day. Guys that care to go through the trouble of making it work might have a good thing on their hands.

I'm running boost, so I need one throttle body, but it would be interesting to see what a pair would do, but packaging would become a logistical issue.
