Very cool man... Compared to a sheetmetal intake and considering the durability and proven hp this is quite the intake! Good luck with the new business venture.

Congratulations on going out into you own venture Cary. It will be good to see the ET215s being produced once again.
BTW - is there any news on my front, as nothing has been heard this end for a while.
Cheers,
Macca

Nice! By the way this is Cristhian. I have been bugging you a lot lately. I should be shooting you the heads early next week, so we can get started on these!

intake I will post some pics up next week when we have them finished. We will be running one on the dyno within the next couple of weeks. I can tell you right now, there will be at least a 35-40 hp difference minimum by the results we just had on the ls7. A-B test on a stock LS7. GMPP to PI-LX 4150 flange, we made 40 hp above the GMPP. I will scan and post the results as soon as I can. GM racing saw 60 hp between the two manifolds on a 700 hp application. It was not only top end gains, they followed alost the same curve from 2500 rpm upward to 7000 rpm. I was suprised by just a manifold swap. The L92 should be very similar. I do have to say though, our intake is not for everyone. It does take modifications to fit into f-body cars and was originally designed to fill the markets that the lower gmpp and edelbrock manifolds did not cover and is a much more expensive part to make due to the two piece design and high quality A-356 T6 alloy that we make them out of.

This is great news for sure.
Cary, I have a set of ET 240 heads already, is there anythign you can do as far as porting work on them that would help, and can your intake be port matched to match up to the heads, or would you need the heads to do it?
I'm looking at tearing the motor down to freshen it up, and if there's anything that can be done to improve the heads (staying hydraulic roller) I'd be intrested in sending them to you.
Take this to PM if needed.
Thanks,
Jason

FWIW, I got one of these intakes over the summer and did back to back testing on the engine dyno. IT WORKS!
On my canted valve headed 436ci, I started with the sheetmetal TR (that I got from Cary/Marcella) & twin 1200cfm 4150 TBs. Then I put on this intake w/ a 2400cfm 4500 TB. The engine acted like a comletely different animal! It made a HUGE gain in the mid range torque (4000-6000RPM almost 50ft/lbs), boosting my average HP #s significantly. The TR did carry the peak HP # a little further, but the average numbers werent even close and the peak HP #s were less than 10HP different @ 8600RPM.
Staight up, its a bad mamba jamba!
Good job Cary
