The VRX manifold
General Q & A update.
WE hope this answers some of the questions that have been posed on this forum.
Does it fit under a Camaro Hood? – YES, it does. In general if something fits under a Corvette hood, it will fit under almost anything.
Look Of the unit- The manifold shown is a rapid prototype in Glass nylon for testing on cars and on the Dyno.
You can expect to see Gray or Black Plenums with Red lettering and Gray or Black Runners.
This all depends on the final molded “LOOK”. We will leak this out on multiple forums to judge reaction.
Power- There is a substantial amount of power to be gained from a stock car and even more from cars with a cam, heads/ cam or larger cubic inch combinations.
We will have numbers for you soon. We have been testing to dial in closer to each combination to generate the maximum power from each. All combinations will vary, however, RPM range and general flow rate from the most common head combinations is about the same.
Price- The unit will be competitive with the current polymer manifolds that are on the market.

Hi
Being that l have a LS2 A6 Z-51 bone stock is there a new CAI model coming out?

Any thoughts?

That looks like a great design. I'm very interested in performance, overall price and when it will be available.
It appears to be an "13" Piece intake from the pics in the link he shared.

Vaguely similar to this intake by Nelson Racing Engines. The turbocharged application with intercoolers main focus of article but a picture of the N/A version near bottom of article. You can bet the N/A version NRE product will be 4X the cost of the VR product.

You are validating my point. I merely referenced the NRE part to illustrate that the VR product is somewhat similar in design with the cross ram design. Moving forward the VR product will likely be representative in design to what we will see come on factory GM cars. Ford and other brands are doing this already.
