Looks like an LS1. I've never seen an intake of that design for those engines before, is it an actual manifold or just a beauty cover? It is deffinately good looking.
More pics and info please.

I like those valve covers.

I'm sure glad I decided on a thirdgen instead of a 4th gen, half of the engine in those things is under the dashboard. What a pain in the @$$.

Synapsis...this is no 4th gen car! Evenso the LT1 and LS1 motors duck under the w-shield real bad too.....

The valve cover storie is easy .....there is a us company making them , forgot the name.....sorry!

There is a guy on the board that was into making a carbon Super ram lid...no sign of his work yet....???

Sombody in here with a superlite Carbon / Alu Intake sys of the norm????

After the ordering festival of the holley stealth i guess customers may wish something they order and get then! LOL!

I guessing a purpose built race chassis, also I think I see tubular upper arms too.

as far as the plugs my guess is it starts with...Raise car on hoist, drop engine out the bottom, replace the plugs, raise engine, lower car..

It´s a STAR Tourer!

Saturn5 you are right ......ful race chassie..tubular a-arms, shocks with remote oil tank,Motec ecu,Carbon body........


Finally after years of waiting, a typical german Tuner came up with the idea to set up a german V8 Racing series!

Most of ya by now should be aware that Indy is hosting one race
on the Euro Speedway Lausitz!

The same track is used to host the touring car race!
There are 4 body styles to choose and no work on the engine
is allowed!

I´ll post more pics after this race weekend!
Team owner Ryll is a "neighbour" so exlusive pics are allowed..LOL!

Anybody knows a company that produces carbon intakes in the us???

Carbon fiber against alum. is a very bad idea. Unless you can get a good insulator between the 2 you are lookng at massive corrosion problems.
