Does Katech make the C6R engine?
I wasnt sure who developed and built it.
I ask because I was wondering what the likely hood is in getting one of the intakes that it uses..

The GT2 C6.R's engines were developed and built in-house by GM at the Wixom powertrain facility from Mid-Ohio 2009-present.
As far as the intake, it won't work on a production vehicle for hundreds of reasons.

The GTS/GT1 C5-R and C6.R's engines were developed and built at Katech from 1997-Le Mans of 2009.

why wont the intake work? I thought it was just a CF intake runner going to a large housing with a filter inside.

-there is no brake vacuum connection
-it won't fit over the valve covers and coil packs

No, Katech is not building the GT-2 engines and they have NO wins and a bunch of engine failures. I know what I would do if I was runing the team.
The Corvette Team got to the point they wanted to win in GT-1. I think they have lost a bit of that as well as losing some discipline. Katech engines would restore some confidence that is needed in my opinion and I have told them.
