This is unique

With the difficulties our friend is having with his SC belt I would do a custom cog belt system.
Did you buy another Vette or just an LT5 motor?

might just work. but I'd rather do the twin turbo boogie.
SGC hopefully finally has there car running. the LT5 is an expensive platform to modify, but it sure looks cool!!!
speaking of custom intakes, how about a slide valve stack style intake on top of the factory injector housings. seems like that would work pretty well to me!! the lotus gang did this with a racing LT5 and got well over 700 hp out of their flat crank lt5. pretty cool stuff.

I could build it, the catch is area. If your going boosted you'll need a linear bearing for the slides. force =pressure x area so if you have 2 square inches of port area, and 14.7psi of boost (or 30 in of mercury) there is 30lbs of force holding that valve shut. It can get ugly (stuck throttles,etc. it's certainly doable, but will require some trick hardware.
