Ls7 Intake Choice's
 
who is making something other then oem intake for ls7.. is it true this is the most restricting part of the new ls7 motor ???..

Richard@WCCH Feb 7, 2006 10:34 PM

The factory intake is a bit restrictive, but perhaps not the bottle neck in the system. Intake system options are sheet metal or Hilborn injectors. I hear that TWM will be working on I/R throttle bodies for street rod setups. Those are perhaps still months away from production.

Hopefully Wilson is listening for the street guys. If the LS7 is short lived and variants of the L92 start showing up in the 07 Vette, new Camaro, etc (i.e. potential VOLUME manufacturing) maybe Wilson will pursue that. Maybe they could come up with an intake that has a swapable base. I speculate of course...

It seems that the Ls7 intake flows better then the Fast does....... I mean when LG posted the dyno results of their stock head/intake csr with only headers, a baby cam and no tuning making 540 that's saying something...

Stock engine with cam and headers makes 600hp. Assume your previously stated 15% drivetrain loss and that would be 510rwhp.


Do you have a case yet? I've got some LS2 4.125 cases being machined right now and should be ready in the next couple days.
