There's some more descriptive posts over at torquecentral that are more RX7 specific if anyone is curious.

On a 427 with big heads & cam, we saw >70HP increase over a Fast 90.
We have 1 guy who has fitted it to a C5. There was some interference with the cowl (which was trimmed) and the left air-pod needed modifying to fit around the power steering reservoir. I will try & find the photos (he is based in Germany!).
It only uses as much as it needs to create the relevant power ... it is not much different (if at all) than the standard manifold for cruising ... the amount of fuel used is almost directly proportional to the gains.

PS: Don't know how many guys on the Forum are aware that an IR system has a TON better driveability with a big cam than a common TB one. With a single plenum/TB, under low throttle/high vacuum conditions, when a piston begins its intake stroke, instead of drawing fresh air past its butterfly, the plenum vacuum instead pulls exhaust back through the cylinder, contaminating the charge and causing rough running and calibration challenges.
Many years ago we fitted my pal's road race Camaro with a 48 Weber IR system in place of a single 850 Holley, and at low speed you would have sworn someone had swapped in a 'grocery getter' cam!

Maybe you should talk to us about some brakes. We just did some Monster 6-piston/4-piston units for a Corvette and they were ~US$6,500.

I was saving my soul for an LS7 Z06, but since GM said they wouldn't take them for payment (not worth enough, I guess), I wonder if Harrop will take one as a trade? I had never even heard of these things until this post!
Any F-bodies running these? Would a cowl hood help or work well with one?

Please PM me a price for use with a TT 02 Z06.

Yes, at the moment, Wilwoods for around that $ range are the leading contender, but our learning curve on what's available is obviously still pretty steep!
From the ram-tube "taper" start to the back of the valve is approx 403mm. The taper will depend on the port & valve

Great, sounds just about what we're after for the 2nd and 3rd pressure pulse tune points.
The limitation is the bore spacing. Unless we make "oval" throttle plates or vertically offset the runners, it is a bit tricky to get less than 1/2 the cylinder bore offset.
Good point; there is that little matter of squeezing the opposite side runner between two butterflies without raising the overall height. Good thing the LSx engines don't use paired runners like the older SBCs!

I'm interested in buying an LS7 when they become available, but I would like to either fit the OEM velocity stack injection/induction manifold used on the C6R to the engine, or model one on that and fit that.
I don't think I will be able to buy an LS7 minus the intake manifold/throttle body & and controller/injectors/fuel rails and pressure regulator/beauty covers/camshaft/pushrods/exhaust manifolds, so my first and foremost question is, "Are there any parts centers that I could sell these 100% unused components back to?"
I am not interested in using these components, and don't want them.
My second question is, "Will the C6R velocity stack injection/induction manifold become available anytime soon after the crate LS7?"
All comments and questions are welcome. I would appreciate any info (preferably with sources if possible) that I can get on these topics.

Here's some pictures of the C5-R intake for you guys. I'm not even allowed to take pictures of the LS7.R so good luck.
to each side.
This intake looks like flow is picked up through the head with the addition of it or if dropped, by the smallest amount.
We've considered a CF VC for sale to the public. If GM would let us, I wonder if there would be a market for it. Obviously the price would be much lower than that if they were sold in high volume.

The benefits of the IR system are covered here:

With enough overlap the IR systems will also lope too and turn black under those cute little throttle bodies from idling with all the same vacuum under them when they are closed and idling but they have less of the total runner to become as contaminated since the higher pressure is close at hand right above them and in the rest of the runner. You will sometimes, with really big cams in these systems see the exhaust and regular reversion in the form of standoff above the runners with some of them at lower engine speeds.
Also when you crack the throttle instead of an entire manifold plenum having to pressurize up slowly instead, now the port sees full atmosheric pressure and density basically almost instantaneously so the throttle response is WAY better. In fact some people need a progressive linkage or it's too jerky for them! Also just realize that Australians ARE crazy and they all drive cars with blowers and NOS and have mohawks. They also like cubic inches in a lot of their racing and RWD but that's finally coming back to the USA too as people here have had their fill of the FWD crap.
