Default Precision Metalcraft sheetmetal intake showed up today

As some of you know, I'm selling my Hogan setup and bought the new PMC intake http://www.precision-metalcraft.com/. First thought, absolutely beautiful work. Very unique look. Many will wonder why change as the Hogan's is a great manifold also. I have a few reasons.

I originally ordered a manifold from a pic on their website; they don't use part number per se, so I told him what I was looking for. I wanted a rounded top, but when it arrived it was the standard flat top with bolt on plate. Looked great so it wasn't a big issue.

I also set it up for hidden fuel rails, which meant you needed to use the ultra short LS7 injectors. The largest you can get that I'm aware of is 65#, and that will limit my engine, need a larger injector.

So when Kevin showed the pics of this new manifold I was in love........ Gives me the rounded top I wanted, larger injectors, uses standard GM throttle body, and uses stock o-ring factory gaskets. I can't say how cool this manifold looks, and at $2250 retail it's several hundred dollars cheaper than the alternatives. It also incorporates some extended runners and stacks inside the plenum which should make great torque. Here's the pics:

nice looking intake, and that is a good price too. The CNC billet runner LS7 intake I had built cost about $4K.

wow i want one... not sure need it, but its soooo nice looking, it also looks much more boost friendly than the flat top on the hogan... but i guess i fit can handle the vacuum at idle it should handle boost as well...

Default I really like it a lot and it looks great on your car

I would guess that it is too much manifold for a 425 rwhp stock cube LS1probably kill the bottom end. Which is a good thing because if it was equal to or better than my Fast 90mm, I would have one on order today.

Geez, I love your motor!

Wow, what a work of art. That's an extremely bad ass part. That's going to be the crowing jewel on your kick ass motor, Jody! The price is amazing, too.
