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:

no, just a billet piece they put on there to bolt the throttle body too; however, it would work as a spacer.

I had some carbon fiber stuff done from Wabbits
http://www.wabbitsww.com/
They did some custom inserts for my console. The consoles are originally chrome plated, and mine had been powdercoated silver like the header coating. I had it painted the dark gray of the dash and engine compartment and then added the carbon fiber. Here's a sneak peak of the rear section of the console, with Mark Stielows custom stainless cup holders added. I'll post up full pics when it's done.









I also had them do my steering wheel ring in carbon fiber; I really like the way it looks with the Twist Machine paddle shifter.
