We will be releasing lots of info here very quickly on the unit. Price will be about the same as the others .* It will be Polymer and blk in color.

stock engine gains "*over " *the competition are about 5-6% more power and 7-8% more Torque under the curve we are seeing as much as 10% more Power and Torque over the competition.​ More for heavily modified engines .*


stay tuned


VR Tech"

Thanks for reporting 1989GTA.
That statement looks optimistic versus a similar intake like FAST...
- The term "under the curve" is nothing but vague.
- The "10% more Power" should net a gain of ~ 60hp at the flywheel for my engine...internet dream???

Hey Christian, what is your current setup?

I saw you on Tony's "Mamofied" LS7 MSD intake thread.

His results on that piece are outstanding.

"Under the curve" power = more important in a street car than peak power.

And depending on how much more power "under the curve" we're talking about.....it could be much more important than peak numbers, even in a race car.

I guess the questions are....do you understand what is meant by "under the curve" and if so, do you understand its significance?

I'd love to get this for LS7 heads. My car (2009 Z06) is bone stock. I'd love to take it to Geoff's (EPS) and do some baseline pulls, tuned stock pulls, then swap intakes and do a few pulls, THEN tune for intake and see what the final #'s are.

I know for a FACT his dyno is accurate even months between runs.

Well, I don't really like it. Looks like it would add about 45# to the nose for starters. Secondly, how would a TB rotating the exact opposite direction of what it's supposed to affect? Same reason you can't swap Gold / Silver blade TB's... They open different directions.

Just not for me. Polymer please.

Looks like it would weigh as much as your new aluminum block.

I'm assuming speed density only and with dual TB's likely very challenging even for a skilled tuner.
