C5R heads & LS7 Carbed Intake ?? Has anyone thought of doing this, I am putting together next years Engine and I am using C5R heads and am thinking the LS7 Carbed intake may be the way to go. The intake looks thin though and I wonder how much it can be hogged out. I ordered one but don't have it yet. What do you guys think?

Do you have pictures on this ls7 intake?What kind of flow numbers between the factory ls7 and carb style.I have the gm carb style now with my et 255 heads and i might go ls7 route if it's worth the extra power.

I know of one person in doing this, and I am looking at it myself - but neither of us have an intake either. Just corrected the bolts for the factory style intakes and bolt on -- but like you said, could be to thin to get the ports matched up.

I have LS6 heads with a Edelbrock victor ls1 intake and a wilson throttle body at the current time. Camn Hawk has C5R with a sheet metal intake I believe. My entire engine will be up for sale in 2 weeks. $7000 takes it home.
