I spent the Day at Magnuson yesterday with The Tuner and the Machinist that runs R&D at Magnuson. The Machinist had to make a custom inlet so we could use the LS2/7 Throttle Body, he did an outstanding job on it. He also had to machine the upper and lower intake for the injectors and his custom fuel rails. Thanks to everyone at Magnuson that dropped everything they were doing to help with the project yesterday. I took everything that was made yesterday over to my polisher this morning and he had it done by 1pm. I was able to assemble everything except the rear fuel cross-over which will get made tomorrow.

The plug and servo clear the drive-shaft by almost 1/4" even with the harness connected. With the truck style Inlet-Forward you cannt flip the throttle body over because of the alternator.

Looks great! Could you post a pic of the underside, especially showing the intake ports?

I am sorry I cant post pictures of the lower intake as it is still a prototype.
