Re: Rippie Intake

I think they just made a couple. It would be extemely expensive to get your hands on one.
Looks badass though.

Re: Rippie Intake

Just imagine some Halltech twin turbos on that in a light weight Vette with the C5-R block, heads and low compression and high boost... is this even possible? I'm sure the motor/turbos alone would probably go well over $100k.

Re: Rippie Intake

Try KINSLER Fuel Injection, 1834 Thunderbird Troy, Machigan 48084, Phone 248-362-1145. I know they make a unit for the LS1. It does not come with the Carbon Fiber intake though.

If you really intersted call them.

The LS! unit is not on their web site, it is in their cat.

Re: Rippie Intake

Just came to mind, Ketech also makes a unit. As I understand it they worked on the C5R engine program.

Here is their web site:

Re: Rippie Intake

Are those composite valve covers? Which reminds me, GM has them for the SBC, anyone have them for the LS1?

Nice shrink tubing on everything. Actually, nice everything. Who has a link to details? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
