After spending months building the best supercharger kit for the C7 platform with loads of custom parts.
Little items like the CNC airbox adaptor, and custom silicon hoses, to make it 100% OEM as possible.
Our next step was to take what we created on the C7, and do the same with the Z06.

The Z06 obviously has a roots blower on it.
Which poses as a restriction at the power levels we knew people would be wanting from our Z06 system.

The obvious step was to create a plug and play sheet metal intake manifold,
And make it for BOTH the LT-4, and the LT-1 as well.

C7 owners will be interested in this because:
- easy place to put individual meth nozzles
- each place to plum n2o nozzles under the intake
- can mount a second set of injectors (and rails) for big fueling.

The manifold features:
CNC billet base plates,
CNC billet runners,
CNC throttle body mount,
THICK alum sheet metal ready for big big boost.
All while fitting under the factory hood line.

This thread is just to let all those be aware of it.
(since we put the blog post up, and thread in the LT4 section)

INTRO PRICING:
MSRP $ 2299 (Black) $2099 (Raw)

Intake can be had in bare alum, or textured black.
Intake cover plate can be had in the same two colors.
(or mix and match)

Awesome!! Be nice if you guys have adapters for the top to play with plenum volume.

Space is the issue.
The hood line is so low, and the direct injection stuff below.
To keep the flow to the runners good, it was a big interesting.

Testing on the Z06 went wonderful, gains were stellar, and TQ wasn't really effected much at all. (which says something for a car that has a cam for a roots blower)

Various testing on BETA standard C7's is about finished, and results will be posted after that. However we know that there are already a few CF members in line to get their hands on these.

When will this hit the market? I want one.

Damn that look's really good!

Sweet I like it. a big plus is it you leaves you a way you can service or clean your DI
valve's that need cleaning you cannot with the stock roots.

DO the Runners protrude into the plenum or is it just an "open box"

Something cool that could be done, is add runner extensions (sell different lengths) on the inside that "bolt" in place with a bellmouth entry to play in Plenum volume/runner length???

I called and contacted my guys at procharger as soon as I seen this. .. very very interested in this

Does the intake need to be drilled for second set of injectors or are they already pre drilled if asked when ordered?

While I love this, has anyone considered if heat soak will be an issue. The composite plenum sheds heat and this one may get a little toasty.. just a thought. Is there any type of phenolic spacer to separate the plenum from the manifold.?

Looks nice! Be interesting to see someone use a second set of rails to provide additional fuelling. Have you got any more pics of under the intake and also the internals?

Sub'd.

Nice looking piece.

........The Intake looks nice huh?

I always find these comments funny! How many years have car manufactures been using ally intakes on cars? How long dose the air actually spend in the intake manifold at WOT and reasonable RPM? And why do you think plastic intakes are popular these days?

The intake material will make next to no difference to the temps of the air inside it. However the location you pick the air up from can make a huge difference!

Not to mention the ally intake will be a hell of a lot stronger than the plastic intake.

sycraft

it may be funny to you, but changing from the aluminum LLT manifold to the composite LFX manifold on the V6 DI motors made quite a difference in HP and temps. we know GM put the plastic on there for weight savings , but it does serve another function to keep the intake charge a little cooler, will it still get hot, yes, but it will cool quicker too. . We all have opinions and that's mine. I still like this and would consider it as it may give other benefits.

The baddest race cars on the planet run billet cnc alum intakes.

If a person wants to use the already existing spacers for the stock blower, they are more the welcome to. However the hood won't clear at that point. Sure the intake heats up with the head. However the performance gains speak for themselves.

And lets be honest, the OEM's make literally 10's of thousands of those plastic intakes which keeps the costs down. As much as we would love our kit to be that popular, it won't be... So to keep costs down this method of building the intake keeps the pricing obtainable for our customers.

I agree, now lets see some NA cars results... I am for one still excited to see them in action. Building a big NA stock displacement car and it would be nice to have this advantage if it works out.

0ProChargerTech

Once testing wraps up all data will be released.

Na (stock power level)
Na (high power level)
Blown (low boost/hp level)
Blown (high boost/hp level)

Show me real world back to back to back tests that show intake temps are impacted by swapping between an ally and plastic intake and I will eat my own hat! The air spends so little time in the intake manifold that there isn't time for the intake air to absorb the heat.

GM and all other OEMs use plastic because they can get very complex shapes from plastic at a much lower price than you can in ally.

And oh wait don't Ferrari & lambo all use ally intakes?.....
