Has anyone tried to mail-order one from Australia? I'm sure Holden would have at least one major dealer selling parts online, similar to Scoggin Dickey and pace. Hard to say what shipping would be like, but damn, $690.00 for a plastic manifold? And I thought LS6 manifolds were pricey.

Very interested, although i can see spending 700 bucks when for 550 more you could add heads, TB, fuel injectors and rails...... or atleast the rumor mill says. God it must suck to be a pioneer blazing the trail for the rest of us.

It's still cheaper than my FAST LSX which I'll sell to cover the cost. I just want to try something different and the setup seem to have real potential.

What the hell, if it doesn't work I'll dump the whole car and get a Miata...

My thoughts exactly. 800 for a fast and then 2400 for 225cc afr heads that flow less than these. That is 3200. This intake cost me 690 plus the heads for around 800. that is 1490, less than half. Who knows what the potential of these heads are if they are flowing 330 cfm as cast.

I had a friend in Australia call all over and check with a few connections. No one could help him there either.

The auction ended for another L92/L76 intake this morning, but he got 0 bids for $599.

Probably, the other intake for $311 so far affected his sale.
