Weiand Street Warrior update
 
I spoke to a Holley rep at the Race Performance Expo this morning. Holley and it's subsidiaries are doing fine. They are undergoing a major regrouping and bankruptcy was the best tool available, they are more than half way through the process.

As for the new composite LSX manifold they want them as bad as we do if not worse! Firstly they wanted proof that the piece will perform as Starr products claim, they are satisfied it will. Now it's a matter of tooling, they know these things are going to sell big time and want to be fully prepared to met demands.

I asked what was the bottom line on availability! He said they have been told "July which is French for August". So take that for what it's worth. If it makes 30 more HP than my Z06's LS6 manifold then I will be among many waiting in a long line to buy one.

It would be nice if it really does give the performance they claim. It would be even better if the delivery would have been what they said it would be at SEMA last year. I at least hope the price they originally said, about $600 will come to pass.

At least you've got the option of the FAST. I NEED one of these to replace my L76 intake. :yesnod:

:iagree: I can not wait for a manifold to support those LS3 Heads we will be able to see wha they can do up top with either an N/A setup or bosted applications:cheers: :flag: :flag:

Thanks for the update - now if they can meet their deadlines. :thumbs:

Redvette_22 04-11-2008 10:29 PM

Any new information on delivery date?

Brice 05-05-2008 11:24 AM

So ??? What's up?
A date?

"He said they have been told "July which is French for August"."

Well I'm french, July is 'Juillet'. August is 'Août'.

I'm waiting for this intake manifold.
I think I've just to buy a regular LS6 intake for my 99 C5

Redvette_22 05-27-2008 07:49 PM

Any update since 5/5/08 ??

I wish they had a nice shinny chrome one

AllCammedUp 06-21-2008 09:50 AM

TTT - keeping the thread alive. Anyone have any updates?

Ryan L 06-21-2008 10:14 AM

I'm glad they are keeping it flat black since it's a composite material. Chrome is for metal intake manifolds. However, it doesn't make much sense for it to gain 32rwhp over a stock LS6 intake, since the LS6 intake is not the weak point in these motors. LS6 intakes are good for 450rwhp or more.

:iagree:

32rwhp and 31 rwtq dont sound right....

maybe they meant to say after "this intake" 1 3/4s Lts 84mm tb and intake total gain was 32 rwhp? sounds about right to me....

u guys are getting happy for no reason.

Ryan L 06-21-2008 01:45 PM

I don't want to totally write it off just yet, but if it performs similar to a FAST90/92 for less money, I'm all for it. It doesn't mean I'll buy it right away, but I welcome the competition to the market.
