If cartek is making 430 to start with an LS6, and LGM, JPR, and TR are making 450-460 with a stocker, Where are they going to be with this intake?

Add that increase to JPRs or LGMs #s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />


This intake also explains why Cartek is getting 470 with out using a cam with total duration over 460 <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

30 RWHP over an LS6 intake on a stock engine? Don't hold your breath. The LS6 intake is pretty damn good.

This is great news but i dont think it will help a stock motor that much.But then again who has a stock motor? but 30 hp and 25 ft pounds on a h/C car would be cool.

I wonder how the reverse split cams are going to work with a better intake?

Not the shop car.

We are going to slap the intake onto a H/C/A4 stock 346ci bottom end car that does about 400rwhp right now.

PSJ:

THat sounds like a perfect project car to test your protype intake. I am certainly pumped up on this new technology with the intakes as that is going to be just what my 427 ironblock will need to creep up to that magical 500rwhp thru my A4.

Keep up the great work PSJ, SPeed Inc., Vararam and Shirl Dickey. THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!

Any information about what it looks like or if it even resembles the stock manifold?

That answers the RPM question. Maybe we'll see some more HP/TQ @ < 6000 Rs. Interesting <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I just hope that it out flows the LS6, maybe flow 300 or 330 CFMs instead of the 280 the LS6 flows.
