Wow, that is really awesome! I'd love to change out my LS1 for a LS7 but with 4000 miles on it, it's hard to justify the cost. David

I am hoping that someone comes out with an alternative L92 capable intake that will fit under the hood of a Vette.

Please let us know what the dyno results are. I will consider doing this instead of ever buying a C6. I love the C5 body. $11K is not bad for the power.

What did you do with the LS1 engine by the way?

That looks Really Nice and I'll bet she'll run Great!

This is just a suggestion and might not make that big of a difference, but you might want to change from the intake bellows (the accordian looking piece in front of the throttle body) to a smooth silicone one. If your intake is going to be the choke point of your setup, then every little bit of airflow helps. Just my .02.
