Custom Intake Manifold

[kwhauck]

RedZMonte is the shop corvette connection?

If you lower the subframe, the engine/tranny will lower with it so axles would stay in the same relation with it all. It would suck ground clearance wise. If I had a Vette, I think I would rather stick with a side saddle setup. It sounds a lot safer and it would be easier to intercool that way At least they got 2 good effects from it.

1. top mount S/C w/ stock hood
2. lower center of gravity- but what good would that do you when those bolts break because they don't have as many threads to bite into to hold the subframe to the body?

It is an interesting concept to squeeze an extra inch of clearance out of the setup, if you just bought longer bolts, I really don't see any problem other than the top of the struts, and maybe some steering issues. The n-body i believe is 6 or 8 bolts holding the subframe on with two being the real big major ones.

Me personally I have a 2 in cowl that I could probably use for clearance issues with my setup, have to wait until I pick up my extra set of 3500 heads from storage and bolt them to a junk block to do some good measurements.....

as long as you put in longer bolts and aligned it properly (camber kit if need be) your steering and everything would line up and work fine.. using a ~2" spacer to lower the sub fram would still be higher then mine with lowering springs and low profile tires.. my 17's are noticable shorter then the stock tires.. not a big deal honestly.

Pshhhhhh intercooler, smintercooler... only need to worry about that if your winding the piss out of the charger (pushing it past its efficentcy point).. the charger hes using will be just fine w/o a intercooler. and if not, add a little meth and a little Juice and your good to go!

I like juice, but seriously i think my car is low enough as it is, i will have to see, i haven't measured it since the last time I messed with the coilover height......

The corvette shop is "Dragon Race Engineering/Pro Street" (D.R.E. and Pro St. mirged now are 1 shop) they actually just move up about 2 miles from my work. My buddies Turbo vette is down there getting tuned.

I would also think that this would push the nose of the car up 2" if they are using 2" spacers. That could mess with the F/R balance ever so slightly and change aerodynamics at high speeds. I know we don't have to worry about that sort of thing, but Vettes can get going a bit faster than we can.

I can't wait for something that i can bolt a 6-71 blower to.


and i have plenty of hood clearance

You and me both!

Clearance issues, whats that?

well i dont know what kind of help i can be but i do have a degree in CAD design and i have the software. so if you get pictures and need it put on a computer for prototyping or anything i can do that. i also have a way to use a rapid prototyping machine that makes a prototype our of plastic which i am using for the ITB dual runner setup i am working on now. i would love to help the cause if needed

Pics or ban! J/k, I don't have the power, nor would I do it anyways. It would be cool to see pics of it though I've always thought of ITB to be one of those kind of things to make you or drool. On a side note, we don't have a drool smiley

I second that!



That guys quality and welds are amazing O.O

Edit: Bonus! I ran his phone number, hes in Detroit. That's like 2-3 hours from me

the suspention can be lowered by adjusting the bolts on the mono leaf in the front. lol the "Corvette Lowering Kit" is literally 4 grade 8 hardend bolts.. so easy to do.
