it's only the coolest most badass 4gen induction on the planet
it does require some mods to make it fit tho. Nothing super major but you will have to use a burkhart or mwc bumper support, pins or aero latches for the hood. And you'll have to feed it air from wherever you choose. Here's how i did mine.
The holes flanking the bowtie feeds the duggy box. It has filter provisions so it can be used as a dd worthy type of piece.
It is expensive. I have no set in stone price. I have only made a few for some buddies. There's alot of carbon in it. It's almost 4ft long and is pretty time consuming to make. I would likely price them in the 1000-1250 range, 1000 being for bare carbon and 1250 being for a cleared one. That would be pretty reasonable for it really. Just to get a few more out there. There's nothing else like it out there.
By comparison the chris1313 prostock set up will work ok from a temporary performance stand point but the id of the tubing is smaller than the tb. And there's no filter to run it all the time. I think you have to remove the ac also. Mine works with ac and I've driven it for several hundred miles. In the rain also....but it's alot more $. Both have there place.
Yea.....it would lose some of it's pazaz tho. Last time i checked into getting something made it was rather costly up front.
I think anyone who would one probably has spent enough to want carbon at that point. Using fibreglass wouldn't even be much of a savings because it's a pretty labor intensive piece. 3 separate molds total. So that's 3 molds to prep, fabric to cut, peel ply/breather/bag, then trimming/fitting together, carbon it together, trim that/sand it, fit the lower filter box, install fasteners, make and install filter rail, sand and clear the upper 3-4 times.

they're alot of work.
when only the best will do, you pay the cost. Dont take away the value of your product.
After looking at this thread I'm now interested in the summit ghost cam. I have an Texas speed 228/228 .600 112 cam i haven't installed yet. Which would you think is better for my ls1 with dorman ls2 intake?

It really depends on the rest of the setup, how you want it to sound, etc... The 228r has been just as fast if not faster than the cam in my car. But it probably wont drive and or idle as smooth.

Mavn brings up a good point about the behavior. He'll be testing the Pro LS Stage II SUM-8707 (226/238 113 + 5 .600/.600) in the near future and can give you a clearer point of reference.
Swapped cams today . The radiator started leaking do i figured since it was out i might aswell do the new cam lol Sum-8707 installed 226/238 .600 .600 113+3
I haven't commented on this thread yet, but this is good stuff. The x-pipe thing... it gets really wild when you start pushing into the upper 500s. The 3" Y-pipe is just not enough. 3" cutout is good at 450 tho.
And those cams from Summit look very good. I assume they're ground by Howards?

Thank you. And the second part will have to remain a mystery
