Default will LS7 intake work on C5R heads?
I know the ls7 heads are like the C5R heads, so Im wondering if the LS7 would work with C5R heads?

No... the LS7 intake will only work on LS7 heads or aftermarket LS7 style heads like ET Performance... they call them C5R 'style'... but the intake will not fit on a true C5R head...

Like Vmax said, it will not bolt up to GM C5R heads, but ET performance has a C5R based head with a LS7 intake pattern.

It does not stink for people who are getting aftermarket LS7 heads like ET's killer new heads

I think it's just that the intake ports don't match.

Not true, valve angle has nothing to do with it.
