Here is the #963 intake
Definitely not good for HP... The #163 was a much better intake. Ofcourse the L88/ZL1 was probably the best factory intakes.
We were doing the stock/restoration thing so...Its what I was stuck with, just like stuck with the stock exhaust manifolds.

I want to change cams in my BB, 496 with 781 heads and big tube full lenth headers. Wonder if this would be a good choice? Runnin a comp magnum roller now, smallish at 510 lift. Idles like a caddy and drives me nuts. I want some decent idle and more hp too! Where do I place my order?? Lol

Great to see another baby rat w a Straub roller! sounds great! (and familiar). mine, w an airgap and headers pulls hard from 2500or so as far as ive been brave enough to rev it...about 6500. seems like it would keep on goin. lookin fwd to your testing and tuning, ive still got a bunch to finish on mine when im done w the TA replacement.
forvicjr call Mr Straub, he will set you up, and he is always there to help

Between the headers/intake I bet we are giving up 50hp...
It did win two trophies at an all corvette show today. President's Choice and Class Winner. My dad was real proud of it.

Finally got our exhaust system built and uncorked the 396.
Stock Vette manifolds feeding 2.5" mandrel bent head pipes, going to 3.5" (2.5" ID) Classic Chambered side pipes, stock 2.75" stainless tips..
Sounds much better letting it breathe..

I will say we had hell stuffing those 3.5" pipes up in the stock covers without spacing them.. VERY close to the frame...Actually touched the frame in some spots and we had to tweak it until it cleared.
2.5" stainless, mandrel bends we sectioned together for head pipes

Alan - VERY NICE! I've never had anybody with a C-3 fit the 3.5" OD mufflers under the covers. Close but no problem on a C-2 - most of the ones people order are 3.5" bodies with 2.5" cores.
