Not being critical... those runners appear to be longer that what most road or race applications would utilise. My guesstimate is that the powerband will be in the lower RPM, just where you dont want/need it on a 7L engine. Just my 2c

Runners are ~12.8 long off the head. Which is a good compromise for all around performance. ~17.3 total runner length to the valve. This is tuned for ~7,000 RPM to pick up the second wave. A lot of stock stuff uses different waves.
I will get dyno graphs as soon as I can, comparing this vs. stock.
I have dyno sheets with all kinds of different length runners using our vertical stack manifold.
I have tested with as short as 6 inch runners and we continued to make more horsepower but it is so high up we could not use it because of concern the engine would not hold together.

And to think.... I briefly considered flaming him for being a poser and stealing pics from the ALMS GT-3 effort in this thread from LGM: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1880913

New Intake Now that is awesome! Any idea on performance yet? I just saw a new aluminum one in a magazine that was cool.
I'd like to see one done that would allow you to hide a small shot of nitrous. Several years ago, some guy did that, I believe under a FAST intake. I might be wrong, but I know he did hide one. Now that would be the ultimate sleeper!

PM me when you get the pricing and dyno stuff done.

you guys have to remember a few things here: this setup has been a long time coming and we are simply paving part of the way to make this happen now. Our cost will not reflect what average joe consumer will pay.
The initial pieces will be developed for the GT2 effort which is based around 2 30~ mm plenum restrictors.
We look foward to testing should be fun.
