It would for sure! For what it costs, I'd rather see a whipple on top of it though

Whipples fun, but 800 NA small block horsepower is pretty fun too

Did it have any HP or torque gains over other intakes? If not 5k plus just for looks I'm out.

Hey if you dont mind, I would be interested to see how your finidings went as well.

What intakes did you compare to? Were any tuning changes done? WHat was the basic combination on the motor?

If you dont want to share the results very in depth I definitely understand but I would interested if your willing to share.

Hey Bob how's it going!

I was there for some of the testing at LPE. Intake is a jewel in person and definitely worth it for the guy who wants the best. Gains on a stock LS7 are significant when you consider how good the stock intake is to begin with.

The guy that owns the company and developed the Carbon XR intake was the VP of engineering at Katech.
