Saw this at SEMA. It's a shame that it is so ugly, but that is just an opinion. Would like to see results and how it will handle boost.

Curious how it does in the real world...also how it does against 25psi.

if it will fit under a c6 hood and hold boost, I'd be down to try it with an ECS kit in front of it. Typically, a FI car (centri or turbo) doesn't see gains from an intake or TB change...or shall I say not see major gains. But, I've seen some that did. I'd be open minded.

Looks like a good intake! Like that the plenum volume has increased as I think that often gets overlooked in after market intakes.

No reason this won't make more power than stock on a boosted application! Remember with boost you are just increasing the density if the air the engine is sucking in! You don't blow air into a engine even with boost!

I think it looks quite good! Almost like a cut down version if the C5/6r intakes.

It looks a hell of a lot better with those trumpets exposed.

Wonder how a clear version would look lol.

Think I inhaled to many fumes today lol

Interesting. Not pretty, but not worse looking than stock either.

In for boost guinea pig results.

I can see it working n/a. For a high power f/i build, I'd bet all those runners would just be more of a hindrance than a help to high volume/speed air flow.

Why would it be a hindrance? People seem to forget that a boosted engine work exactly like a na engine! All you are doing is pressurising the intake manifold to allow the engine to consume air at a higher density. You still need a decent intake manifold and there will still be improvements by fitting a better flowing one!

It's like saying you don't need better heads on a boosted engine!

I just bought one. It's supposed to be here on the 18th. I'll measure it against my stock ls7, and my FAST LSXr.

if I can find a flow bench, I'll have it tested against the FAST.

Do you have a NW 102? What are your numbers now with it basically being a stock motor? Just so we know where you're starting from...

I'm building an RHS465 in my C6Z. I don't have any baseline numbers, but I plan on testing it with both my FAST and the new one to make sure I'm not hurting myself to run it.

Found it on Summit's site. Aztech needs you to register as a dealer.
