Why no FAST intake? With a big cube LSx, you'd make more power with an upgraded intake.

Nope...gained 4hp (?) I think it was, but killed the TQ. The FAST intake is better suited to the big port (LS7) heads versus the cnc'd LS3 pieces on our 427...as with our bbc's, bigger (runners) are not always better.

Rob, was the fast intake ported before it was installed? I have seen marginal gains from unported fast setups but ones that have been ported and retuned after the install I have seen huge gains. A local friend of mine with a heads/cam bolt on LS1 trans am picked up 33 rwhp and about 20 ft lbs going from a stock LS6 intake with a ported stock throttle body to a ported fast 92MM intake with matching fast 92MM throttle body.

Is there a victor jr or super victor type intake available now for LS3 heads? I know that these intakes have had pretty good results on LS1s. If they did and it worked well, it would be a much cheaper alternative to a ported fast setup.

Stefano,

I may have missed it in this thread, and you may want to PM me an answer, but how much for an identical unit out the door? Has anyone researched the 50th state (CA) smog implications? I'm not so much concerned with the sniffer levels as I am with failing visual. I can see the look on my smog guy's face now...

I consider myself a level headed, law abiding citizen, but my big concern is getting stupid behind the wheel of one of these. I have had to lock cars in my garage for years because I was witnessed by local law enforcement missbehaving.

JB,

Call Dennis Barker, he has the full specs and option list and can help you with a quote;616-204-6066 or email [email protected].

At this time we only have ONE 50 state emissions legal package, wich carries a C.A.R.B. number(The base TVS2300 Magnuson Stage II S). Everything else is built for "off road use only" and the customer is responsible for emissions compliance in their own State.

We do make every effort to build "green" and efficient engines. The Clary's 427ci runs twin cats and should be able to pass a sniff test.

If I told Rob that they only take about 5 or 6 hp from the rear wheels, he'd probably be out taking them off right now. So don't say anything

Thanks, Stefano! Dropped Dennis a note/request.

Well, we had a chance to play with the 2010 Yenko Camaro today..

Steve and the gang at Nickey Chicago accomplished the impossible. We now have a cool car that is as equally comfortable going to the super market (which Diana did this morning) as it is in full race mode (which the boys tried).

Idles at 650RPM, very slight lope, takes off smooth, shifts as normal, exhaust has a nice deep rumble, not too loud.

When you hammer it, with the new torque converter and program, the auto transmission is awesome. Add the Pedders drag race suspension to the mix, feels really strong. At wide open, the exhaust sound is very musclecar-ish.



Cannot wait for the first test –n-tune.
