Re: C5R Engine Pics (GENERAL ST)
I'd be interested in some detail on the coil mounting setup and what (if anything) he's done for a PCV system. I've considered the C5R valve covers for my Cartek 427, but the ancillary issues related to coils, etc. turned me off.

Re: C5R Engine Pics (Godspeed)
I'd appreciate as much info as you can dig up on the Katech coil mounts, fuel rails, etc. I've had several conversations with those guys, including one in person at the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta last October. They definitely gave me the impression that they were not interested in dealing with people who didn't have the backing of a factory race budget.

Godspeed,
That intake look sincredibly similar to the LS2 intake from the C6 spy shots I have seen. The runners look identical. The goose neck looks to be modified to handle the current TB.
Only news on availability and pricing for the manifold?
This is the biggest opp for improvement on my 422.

Re: C5R Engine Pics (runamuk)
can't remember where I saw it but I think it was out in the open parking lot on the North side of the coliseum, they had a couple of race engines and one was the Katech 427 with 8 stacks and the other had that intake, I remmber thinking it must have been a custom made intake because of the way the runners had been smoothed out and that great red metallic paint.

Katech did a beautiful job on the intake.

Re: C5R Engine Pics (vetterdstr)
For those that were curious it put out 529RWHP and 498RWTQ yesterday. We still have some more tweaking to do and hopefully will have the opporutnity to install our headers.
