The Crew At PlanetLSX.com Reveals All About LSXR Manifold

[CPG Marketing]

We test the latest intake manifold on our project Z06 Corvette

The new "LSX-R" 102mm intake manifold by F.A.S.T. (www.FuelAirSpark.com) was released for production recently for the LS7 7.0L engine. As we all know, the potent 427 cubic inch mill from GM is factory rated at 505 hp. Until now, nobody had developed a composite molded intake manifold for the LS7, so most owners opted for mildly ported OEM intake manifolds to squeeze a little more output from them.

Planet LSX decided to do its own testing, rather than buy into sales propaganda, or make decisions based on online forum antics. We own a brand new 2009 Corvette Z06, which was completely showroom stock besides a nice set of HRE wheels. It was begging for modifications, and we enjoy testing new stuff. The car had 5,050 miles on it, so it was ready to break the seal.

As soon as the intakes became available, we put our order in for one. When the UPS truck made us happy, we picked up the phone to Late Model Racecraft in Houston, TX (www.LateModelRacecraft.com) to utilize their new state of the art dyno facility and installation expertise. Don't worry, yours truly still gets his hands dirty and did some wrenching as well. It sure is fun installing an intake manifold on top of a hot engine on a 102F day!
