would like to test ls7 valves properly fitted into l92 heads on a stroker. would be a fairly priced item if the gains were worth it. i have seen good airflow gains on the bench on bigger bores through the whole valve lift range...i already have this figured out how to do but will require some machinginof parts which could be sold in a kit.

A bolt-in/wire-in flex fuel system for newer vehicles like the Corvette, Camaro, GTO. It seems most of the fuel system on newer cars will handle the Ethanol, but there are no sensors, injectors, fuel pumps, and ECMs in place to handle the newer and cheaper E85 fuel that is about 105 octane. It think this was already done on a Jay Leno Corvette, but it was never marketed for the public. Make it happen!

Katech & affordable doesn't go well in the same context, but neither does Dry Sump Oil System, but it would be cool to see more options for the LSx.
I would also like to see a firewall forward tubular front end frame; either a weldable kit or a built and shipped unit.
Also since you do a lot of road racing, I'd like to see an adjustable (on the fly) dampening system and coil over setup like TEIN and Tanabe have

Just like we want something affordable to the average Joe from Katech, they want something to bring to market that they can make a profit on (obviuosly) but not to have to pour a ton of R&D dollars into. So until we come up with an idea that follows that guideline somewhat they won't produce a non-cost effective product.

For us guys running a ls2 tb make a coupler or air bridge for the PVC on the ls1. Just put my order in there prices on the stuff they produce is good. I guess you can save a few dollars down the road and worry buying another later
