Cam info for Kip...
There was a recent LS3 Intake Manifold test by one of the magazines (if you believe those things) where 9 or 10 different manifolds where tested.
IIRC, the Hi-Ram didn't do so hot. It was well below OEM styled manifolds.....not equaling and passing them until 5500+ RPMs.
Would most likely not be an issue for you (at the track) if you have a high stall TC and are going to rev above 7K RPMs....but thought you might want to know if you drive your car on the street.

It's a gamble no doubt. I'll know if I'm going to invest in this combo after my next track visit. Don't want to use the intake as a bandaid for heads cam combo that fails though.
I have seen one car with 5rwhp and one with 35-40rwhp over a fast 102 and as you mentioned over 5500rpm. That is usually where my shifts drop with 6 spd.
That of course is cam dependent also.

It will probably want an earlier exhaust opening event as well to help carry the power up top where that manifold shines.
Holley seems to be pushing the Sniper pretty hard, especially after all the press it received at SEMA.

"Runner lengths with tapered top on EFI intakes designed to increase velocity and more evenly distribute airflow to all 8 cylinders"
If it makes power, the price is right, but skeptical till I see data.

Edelbrock always does their homework before putting a product out. Results should be interesting.

I would believe that the length of the runners will just move where peak power will be made. The shorter the runner the further up the rpm range that HP will be made. I would also think this would be at the cost of torque down low. So I guess it depends on what the owner wants his car to do and the shift points.
