hello bosch vette,
i saw the haltech website and they sell the e6gmx computer for $ 1,395Australian dollars ,but you said it cost $1,000.
where did you buy your computer from please?
so you need a small cap dist, 8x uni filters,after market computer,any thing else you need to convert this thing?
so its going to add up close to $ 5,200 of your dollars ( australian).
it must be worth it though with all that extra power you get from it.
regards
shae

thats cool then, not having to buy another computer.
so you mentioned a piggy back system like a uni chip, what does this mean then?, as i was going to get a custom mail order chip burned and plug in.
also what brand adjustable fuel regualtor did you buy please?

a unichip is a brand of reprogrammable chip that is wired to your original computer that can be tuned in real time on a dyno that suits your engine not a guess like a genericly burnt chips are.
i cannot remember the brand of pressure reg but i will let you know.

yes you can make more hp with a blower but you may not be quicker,there is a blown LT4 in our club that makes 640 rwhp that just beats me down the 1/4 (he beats me by about a car length) but when we go to the track i beat him by over 6 sec because it is not a usable power.i prefer N/A grunt anyday.
L83/L98:

[QUOTE=Casethecorvetteman;1560779615]There are so many things that could make that possible, 1 is the gearing, 2 is the suspension, 3 is the tires, 4 is the wheel alignment, and most of all the person behind the wheel. Probably a huge difference between his car and yours when you look at the total package. If he has 640 horses and youre beating him by 6 seconds around a race track, his car cant be set up as good as it could be.
Different bolt pattern mate:
Bolt pattern is drilled to suit your application when you order it i had the chose at time of order.
i totally agree with you on all the things that you mentioned about what would affect lap times but his car is an ex track car from the states that has better brakes, suspension and tyre package and it was a professional race driver(Greg Murphy at phillip island) who was the one who said that the difference was the usable power,he did 15 laps in both cars back to back and my car was on average 6 seconds a lap quicker.
cheers boschvette

shae,
I was thinking the same think about them. If they ignore you they are not worth my money.
There is another vendor in the states with the same manifold, but he also did not reply : www.verycoolparts.com. They were also a lot more expensive.
What is it with these guys ?

etown, a prominent fellow Edmontonian has a similar system on
a street car that is nearing completion or has just been completed.
The Katicore intake is a fuel injection version of the venerable
individual runner (IR) cross-ram style manifold.
This type of intake has been used on small block Chevys, Fords
and other american V8's at least as far back as the L-50's/E-'60s when
the intakes appeared with IDA side-draft Weber carburettors mounted
on them.
The carburetted intakes systems continue to be available
Moon Eyes which has its roots in the company started by Dick
Moon in the '50s IIRC, offers a version of the SBC cross Ram.
Moon Intake
TWM Induction apparently offers a version based on the Moon intake
I anticipate that the IR-style intake raises some challanges as far as
providing ways of measuring air flow and determining manifold vacuum.
The local intake mentioned above was disassembled when I saw it - my
recollection is that it is laid out somewhat differently than the
Moon/TWM shown here. Engine management may need something
more advanced than the bank-to-bank setup employed for the OEM
L98 TPI
However, the basic IR design is proven. A quick look at the overhead
photo of the TWM and you can see that the butterflies are positioned
to give a runner length of approximately 9-11": a length that is inbetween
the HSR and the SR. Plenums for Helmholtz resonance tuning can be
bought or fabricated. Providing cool air is not a show-stopper.
