Out of curiosity, is the exhaust going to be dumped, or out the back?

Just noticed every vehicle in the shop is red, lol

Sweet build!!! Them are some nice injectors, and I see this car will never see a drop of rain lol not because its going to be turbo'd but that long runner intake kind of ruined the windshield wiper luxury

I didn't see where anyone asked, but I assume you lose your wipers with the intake as with the ProFlo XT manifold, yes?

I was interested in the same one, but I wanted to keep my wipers for road trips.

Your best bet is a Vic JR and a scorpion TB or somthin "I think its thinner than the fast TB" .. Every thing else ive seen you have to cut to much of the cowl to keep the motor and wipers. even with the vic jr/scorpion combo you still have to cut the cowl but you may be able to retain your motor and wipers. Search it, there are tons of people doing it...

Yes, I realize this. I was asking about this specific intake manifold configuration.

I've been through three different Vic setups now with minimal trimming (one with the scorpion TB).

I guess I misinterpreted your question. I know they make diffrent tops for this intake but do they make a different length runner base?

No they don't. Yes, wipers need to be removed for this intake to fit. It's like a 1/8" from hitting the windshield. Another thing to note is that the cathedral port versions are 1/4" taller than the LS3 versions, so those that are running cathedral port heads in a 4th gen will likely need to space the k-member down just to fit it under the windshield.

Strange single adjustables in the rear, AFCO double adjustables in the front. I will eventually go with AFCO double adjustable coilovers in the rear though. That's stage 2 along with a 8pt chromemoly cage, kirkeys, and manual steering rack. Just going to enjoy it as is for the meanwhile.
