What the hell is that thing on the front of that red truck? Is that some kind of ground effects device or something?

And that white stuff outside the garage door? Is that like a cotton substance or something?

Nice pictures! Great stuff.

Happy New Year to you!

That is Todd aka ddot (Todd spelled backwards) doing the welding. This guy can do just about anything, including fixing the lights around here. He even takes out the trash Cleans up after himself too, I think he likes working here!!!

RossN,
I don't think they make a LS7 style manifold. Check out LG for that new intake he is working on.

It came to us from Sweden. He has had some issues with it. So he sent over the engine, tranny, diff, suspension and AP brake calipers for a winter rebuild. I will have horsepower numbers in about mid January. Something like 700 crank out of the little 427, camshaft in the 26Xs

thanks, feel free to post all the roll bar/cage stuff you want, I can't get enough of that stuff.

I like to get different ideas from how other people do theirs, especially the race teams.

We do each job different to suit the needs and wants of our customers. This customer does all track time and no W2W racing. So we built him a car that he can take rides!!! A W2W car would have a different pass. door bar setup.

It's not American! Darn, we need someone with some skills to do a similiar setup for the LS7.

Anyone have a some billet Aluminum laying around, a DIY CNC milling machine, and some time at the House this Winter for a little project?

I think the whole LS7 world is waiting for a setup like this.

They are a very cool design. But for the street we would never install anything like this. They are a race only part and need to go on a racecar. The camshafts are completely different for this type of intake also. We haven't tried a street cam with a intake like this, but I would guess the stock manifold would beat it across the rpm band.
