As far as:
tall deck
LS7
different length runners
They are all planned,but we can only do one step at a time.
We are still testing prototypes, with castings, and material in-house ready for production units.Vinny

Install PICS Install pics of a prototype manifold installed on my 05 GTO! (This is an L92 head motor)
Here are the steps to put one of these together and install one.
First, I test fit the flanges to the heads to check port alignment. This step is so nice because you can just look down and see how well they line-up. You could port-mach at this point, but this lined up nicely so I didn't bother.
Next, I took the head flanges back off, and assembled the manifold. The runners slide into the head flange with an oring seal. You can see the steps in the head flange for the oring. The outside of the runner has a matching step, while the inside of the runner is a smooth bore even at the transition. The overall height of the plenum is a 1/2" higher than the stock manifold, but lower than the stock fuelrail cross-over. The TB is almost in the stock location, its about a 1/2" higher, and about a 1/2" more forward, and it points directly forward instead of a slight upward angle like the stock unit.
Once its assembled, then it installs just like any other manifold. Here are a few install pics.

Its ideal for any F.I.because of its plenum volume,and strength.
Great for nitrous from a safety standpoint.
Or big cube or big cam NA. Definetly not a good optioin for a stock LS1.
We plan on getting one flowed soon, and some dyno runs next week, so soon we should have some specific examples. We are working as quickly as possible, so keep an eye on this thread.

Vinny if you need one tested on a car, please let me know. I might make one more trip out this year, and I could easily put one on and see what it will do compared to a fast setup on a big ci/big compression motor with a somple plate kit behind the tb.

There is an oring seal between the runner and head flange, and a gasket seal between the runner and the plenum. I'll post up some install pics later today.
As far as:
tall deck
LS7
different length runners
They are all planned,but we can only do one step at a time. We are still testing prototypes, with castings, and material in-house ready for production units.
