All of this is about personal preferrence.

Again, they're are plenty of alternatives out there that make more horses for less money. We all know that. I simply started this thread to see if there was any roots to the idea of being able to adapt something exclusive to the C6 to the C5.

Edelbrock has an article on their website saying they're working on the C6Z kits (which should be out this fall, IIRC) and will work on the C5 kits after that.

It's amusing, and annoying, at how previous generation cars get left behind so quickly because they're not the latest and greatest. All the attention is focused on the newer cars, even if fewer are on the road, because those make the most power and are the most "exciting" because people don't know what the real limits with them are yet.

Magnuson and Edelbrock say they're working on a C5 (TVS) kit.. I hope they both actually get developed one day. It'd be a very nice option for the C5 guys.

After speaking with an Edelbrock rep, these will work on a C5, BUT you won't have hood clearance, thus making the unit less attractive. Plus you need to have a shop that can tune it in house. Edelbrock wants all their units to work with stock hoods so they are holding off until it's complete with OEM hood clearance.
Plus you have to factor in the newer model cars that they are going after, Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro then C5 specific.
I now I am waiting patiently for an LS6 application, hopefully in Spring of 2011.

Appears it's for the LS1.. I'm guessing the tune would be about the only difference for an ls6?

Thanks for the link.. I did not know LPE was selling them. Plans for my car may have just changed a bit.

That kit still looks too tall to sit under a stock hood, and still looks like every other Maggie...

How does an intake designed to mate to an LS3 work on an LS1/6?

I thought the intake ports were shaped differently? (No...I know the intake ports are shaped differently).

Hell, if all I need is more hood clearance and a custom tune (which you'd need no matter what SC you used), then this will be a done deal (wonder what the cost of the system is without the custom digital tuner?)...but I'm betting that, like a Transformer, there's more than meets the eye with this deal...
