Default LS7 Intake Manifold Options

Hi. Does anyone have any experience with any aftermarket LS7 intake manifolds? Who makes them? What are the aftermarket options? Any custom painting or porting available? Seen the Wilson manifold, out of my price range and not what I am looking for. Please advise.

Hi. I would simply like to have my manifold ported for power and coated for appearance. Who would everyone suggest for each of these?

Hi. What type of pricing can be done on the port job for the LS7 manifold? Do you recommend any other porting, such as throttle body?

Port the LS-7 performance GM aluminum intake and add a 2 in spacer. The spacer alone is worth 20hp

I see why he is a restricted user. Anyway! Fast at the current time has no plans on making an aftermarket piece for the ls7 so looks like porting the stock one will be the best bet. Plenty of torque down low and wont fall on its face like the l76 up high.
