I came across this interesting long runner sheetmetal intake some time ago. No idea how it worked out, and no way it would fit under a stock C6 hood...but I thought it looked intriguing.

Looks badass so far...I hope it performs as intended. If so, I could see more of those put in use for HPR's big cube motors.

How long are the runners? I wonder how long the MSD or FAST ones are?

FAST has 3 different runner lengths available for their intake....8" (street, which is standard), 6.25" (high RPM), and 3.5" (race).
Ryne Cunnigham from CMS did a test for LSXMag several years ago...the video is attached

I'd have to do a search on runner lengths for MSD manifolds, as I can't remember straight off the top of my head. If I recall correctly. the FAST intake has a longer runner than the MSD, but the MSD has a significantly bigger plenum volume.

Looking forward to seeing how Jame's manifold works out for your setup...it may sway my decision as well

I have a NW 102 TB. I saw they make a 108 for $1400. Is it even worth that?

Does anyone think the 108 throttlebody will be better than the 102? Is it really worth $1400

Better? Probably worth 2-3hp. Is that worth $1400+, that is only a question you can answer.

Worth it questions are always dependent on your income and disposable money. For some people, absolutely they would spend that. Are Ti lug nuts worth $150 to save a few grams? Some people think so and spend it, others don't. I don't think the TB will be limiting on your setup.

Intrigued to see your results with that intake! Bump

Me to. Considering they just built a 468 with Mamo LS7 heads and a stock MSD intake at 11.5 compression with a cam around 650 lift that made a little over 670rwhp and 630rwtq on 93 oct Through a paddle shift transmission. I am using a better intake better heads and a way bigger cam and a standard TR 6060 transmission I am 13.1 compression running e85. I definitely should be over 700rwhp

I think it the 468 had the Mamo TFS 265 head not a stock LS7 head. 30 degrees of over lap is not a small cam either that's like a 251 / 267 on a 114. Now for that size engine it is not too big a cam. I think if they had used a ported manifold MSD on an engine this size I could see another 20 hp (all this suggesting that the 468 would have been 700+ rwhp with a TR6060). What should be interesting is your torque output. I would agree with your assumption with your set up with the bigger Brodix heads, compression, fuel and trans you should be north of the 700 rwhp mark.
