BIG cube DD?
Mine will be a daily driver. 454 cubes. All factory options retained and projecting 650+ rwhp with a nice idle. However most of this will be made possible due to the Harrop intake. If I hadn't bought it, I'd have gone for the ported LS7 heads/intake no doubt.

Check this one out. You may have seen it before. Cheaper than the harrop, especially with the price increase.

What intake could be ran on a 447, LS6 - FAST- LS2?

Looks like their linkage system is kinda midevil compared to Harrops. I'd be interested to hear more about it. I wonder if it retains all the stock sensors like the Harrop? May not be to bad seeings how it is the same price as the Harrop was before they increased their pricing. Options are always good. It's just to bad no american shop will build one so we don't have to pay $400 to ship....

11Bravo, I agree, the price hike sucks. They informed me of it last January, but they had no intakes at that time. By the time the new line of intakes were gunna be made, the price was set to be increased. I informed them that I would purchase the intake when they were through with the production run, but I was not going to pay the increased price. Luckily they alloted me the old pricing, but it was still expensive.

What I can't figure out is why Holley, Dart, Wiend, etc haven't created a manifold like that for the LSx...
It would have been a quick sell at 1k for L92 heads about 6 months ago...
People would have pissed themselves for a velocity stack manifold that would work with the L92 heads 6 months ago... now the L76 manifold is finally showing up at an affordable price and a Velocity stack manifold will be religated to the low production high price deparment...
Oops sorry for the Thread derail.

Big cubes are always the more dependable way to make HP and the torque without the hassle and maintenence of turbos and NOS. The torque from off idle will be much more fun in the seat of the pants test. S.A.M.'s 500" had over 600 ft/lb from 4K to over 6K. That really wouldn't care how many people were in the car on your daily commute !

When I say big cube I am thinking 427-461ci.

Go with the most cubes as possible, than you don't have to go so radical. The smaller the amount of cubes you have the MORE radical you have to build it to reach a given power level. SO.....more cubes is YOUR answer to having a more DD engine.

As long as you don't deck the block or mill the heads too much or have real high compression should be alright. Although you would probly run a tad hotter in real long stop and go but nothing to worry about.
