Impressive gains for just an intake manifold! Just under $5k, OUCH!

Coming soon for LS7 and LS3

I'd spend $5k on an intake if everything below it was worth $60k

Honestly, if i could gain this kinda torque/horsepower from swapping this over on my current setup there would be no cowl design getting in the way

I would be worried about the attachment of the tubes where they go into the head. Consider all the weight leveraged on those bolts. Years ago I had a 4 banger with Weber 40 dcoe's and they cracked the rubber tubes that connected them to the heads.

You could do a really nice ITB setup for that kind of money.

While this a very nice intake the gains are not "outrageous" given the fact that it uses two throttle bodies and very long intake runners which aren't going to help high RPM HP where you need it for racing.....a simple swap to my Beck Sheetmetal intake on my stock LS7 short block with a 102mm TB vs the LS7 stock intake and port 90 mm TB netted 42 RWHP at peak and this twin TB set-up only picked up 33 RWHP at peak!

This CF/Twin TB manifold makes it money by adding a boatload of low/mid range torque in addition to the HP due to the long intake runners.
