Too much money, just "force" more air in there with nitrous :D For the amount of money they cost you will probably only see about a 25 hp gain, you can easily make that up with a jet change! :yesnod:

Aren't the Cartek guys working on this issue? Maybe you should speak with them.
Also, isn't there a metal holley intake for the C5 that can be bored out as needed? Has anyone tried this?

Has anyone tried the Edelbrock LS mainfold offered thru Summit? It is stated to be made of thick enough aluminum to allow a generous porting job. Please report back if any comments, I'm considering this for a stroker engine also. sj

Re: LOOKING FOR LARGER INTAKE MANIFOLD (binksZ06)
I have always been told that the alum gets considerably warmer, thus warmer air, and it cost considerable hp in air temps, I suppose if you could make it flow well enough to overcome the temp loss it would be great, but it would be better to have a plastic that flows better, I'm sure it would take considerable time and money to design and develop a better plastic intake several people are having some success with some porting and port matching the plastic so its probably just a matter of time before we start having some options.

The Hogan manifold is nice, but it is 3large ($3,000). I have heard GTP is working on the Edelbrock manifold. I heard they had some gains, I have not heard how much...
