Thanks. I knew a real racing single plane with a big plenmum and long runners would be killer in the midrange RPMs and an absolute monster on the top end. It really has a very explosive power delivery. I always get the "WTF just happend" look when I take folks for a ride in the car. It's so docile just driving around (as oposed to how it sounds) and then at WOT it's just an animal... This intake was orginally a Edelbrock PN 2925 Super Victor. It's been modified heavily to work on my car by 3 different people (Jeb Burnett, Me, Denny Smight). That story is a long and sucky soap opera I don't want to detail. I don't know what else to tell you about it. I have plenty of pics on my Photo Bucket detailing the port work I had Denny at JDS Induction do to it last year and those pics also show the injector bungs and fuel rail mounting system. That stuff was all fabricated by hand, then fitted to the intake and TIG'd together. You can see as well where the orginal 23* cyl head mounting holes have been welded up and the LTX bolt pattern has been milled into it. http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f30 ... sdriver/Corvette/?start=0 4yrs after it was orginally built I would definatly do some things differently in the construction. Biggest thing I would change is to leave the intake bolt pattern as the old style 23* cyl head and drill and tap that intake bolt pattern in the LTX heads - instead of converting the intake bolt pattern to LTX. Also IMO there are better and more cost effective intakes out there to start from for this conversion now.... back in 2005 this was the best option, but it cost alot in time and money. Performance wise I'm pleased. You'd have to ride in it to know what it's all about. You have a standing offer from me to do so if you are ever in the area. Will |
