Re: New C5R Set up (speedjohnson)
This one was made by Katech who builds the c5r's for chevy--a number of people build the sheet metal intakes like Hogan--they are expensive and don't work well on the street, high rpm manifolds and would not work on a stocker at all--you can spend 3K plus at Hogan with no prob, they build them to your specs and what you are trying to achieve--

Re: New C5R Set up (West Coast Corvette)
This is the best looking motor I have ever seen, what kind of fuel will it need for 14.5 to 1 cr--I can deff see 9's easy enough but it would need help for 8's--I can't wait to hear this thing, I don't know why it would need wheelie bars or a shoot are they being facicious about this--anyway I'm jealous as hell---what TB is on the motor everyone is looking for a hugh one for the FAST intakes---

Re: New C5R Set up (Goody)
The throttle body shown in the picture of the engine on the engine stand is from Accufab manufacturing, but the throttle body that is on that motor now in Calvin's car, is a GM ported throttle body to work with the stock computer.
The intake manifold was built here in California by a friend of our service manager, his name is Gregg Davis.
