I believe this is the depiction of the intake for the Ford application.

Re: Nice COPO Camaro 427 LSX Intake!
Let me first say I like the new cars running heads up with each other. I don't have a problem with them all adding parts etc. But my real problem with the cars, I don't hear people mentioning here, is that they are on the same qualifying sheet as everyone else? To explain my point. You have a couple classes created to feature these cars. FS/A FS/B, now it is agreed upon to have a certain index and the cars have established HP to somewhat even up the weights vs. HP. Now you run these cars heads up in qualifying (good to watch), some run over 1.2 under!! Others run 1.1 under fast but now this class of car is filing the qualifying sheets and in some cases (INDY), not allowing other cars to compete based on qualifying under. So you have one class of cars that are getting parts, engines, trans etc. superseded to one up the other cars in the heads up class. I believe let them run heads up with each other. I call it A/FX and B/FX, because that is what they are. But, make there index tough, for example take .2 or .3 off there index. Make the new AFX cars (Never offered on the public road) run in AFX not AA.BB,CC etc. I know it will never happen but this is like Pro Stock Light... Give them there platform, promote them and let them go!

The pleasant surprise is they haven't found the huge crowd of buyers that they were expecting. Sure a few new cars will hit the track every year but it now appears they will not become the majority of cars on the track.

Re: Nice COPO Camaro 427 LSX Intake!
Not to bash any one here. But did anyone posting here read the article?
It's listed for the new heads-up copo 427 super stock engine program. or in other words it was built to battle the 426ci Gen III Hemi. |

Gump didn't each factory continually change cams, cubic inchs carbs etc in the 60s also? I guess progress if parallel in all brands and cubic inchs could be good.

Re: Nice COPO Camaro 427 LSX Intake!
Are they not making the way for cars that NHRA did not want in Comp? I am talking about the short lived AA/SM. A seven second car with not enough wing and ALL glass windows! But hey, someone could supply NHRA approved replacement polycarbonate windows and a factory superwing
