Thumbs up Beck LS7 Cross-Ram Intake

I picked up my newest piece of engine jewelry yesterday, from Beck's here in Houston. I had John build a custom 1 of 1 billet CNC runner cross-ram style intake, to dress up the 427ci LS7 that I am putting in my pro-touring 1969 Camaro SS. We went with longer runners than normal to give a nice boost in midrange torque, since this car will be a cruiser. I wanted something more exotic on top of this engine, other than a factory style intake.















Here are some pics of Beck's shop where he builds the intakes and CNC billet parts.







These are some other intakes I saw being built:

Very nice!

You could sneak in a direct port system below the runners too.

Wow, I think I speak for everyone when I say you suck! Did you just win a lottery or something? Or do you have magical pants that produce exact change every time you go to pay for something?

But seriously, that thing looks amazing. That car is going to be a street monster when you're all through.
