Head heating

This is another really neat thing we do i feel can help you guys out there doing this on your own.I like to pre heat the head when going threw the torquing process so i no its set and sealed before fire up we use 2 heat guns to get each head up to temp it's time consuming and it smells like **** while your doing it because the sealer is melting into the surfaces so make sure you are in a well vented area when you do it,but your copper gasket won't need a retorque this way.

Nelson 8 throttle body intake
 

Well i'm letting the cat out of the bag a bit here but heres our new cross ram 8 throttlebody intake we made for this combo which everyone on the board upgraded to that bought this package i should have first articles in 3 weeks this has been over a year in devolpment.I will be running a special on the first run for those of you who want to get in on it early.I can tell you that the fabbed version of this was worth almost 50 ft lbs over a l92 intake.Notice the dual injector per cyl for the turbo applications.I feel this will be the best performing intake weve devolped to date there is very little bend in the port and there are 8 2 and 7/16 throttle bores that have a taper design that i've come up with over the last 15 years that flat kicks ahole.It will be available both na with twin filter set ups and with twin plenum boxs for boosted apps.CK it out quite a few more interesting pics of the header construction,turbo construction etc so keep your eye on this post.

Better pic
 

I'll post a better res of this tommorow

Now that intake is a work of art... Should have some nice torque and quick throttle response.... You are a very talented man Tom.... Craftsmanship is exceptional.....:thumbsup:

Tom,

Will the cross ram intake fit an LS7 head, and do you think it will out perform the stock ls7 manifold in a normally asperated application?

WOW! that piece is a friggen work of art- out did yourself on this one :hail:

Dudeeeeeeed, that's nice! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Tom,

Matt

Thanks
 

Thanks i appreciate the good words

Will it fit
 

Yes it will fit 9.240 deck 9.7 deck 9.8 deck l92 and ls7's No question it will out perform stock ls7 intake but until we actually test it.I won't no the fabbed version runs circles around the ls7 though.
