First I am really interested in this project so please don't take offense to my question. Has the inlet been flow tested? I am running a kb on my 04 cobra and the inlet has proven to be a huge restriction. The inlet in the picture looks small to feed a big cube ls1. The inlet would probally be fine on the 2.6 but the 2.8 moves a lot of air! I just bought a G8 and would love to see a kb on it.
btw, i have a g8 if you guys want one for testing... I am more than happy to drive out to Las Vegas to let you play with mine, and install a blower, lol...
In stock trim, we were finding that it was turning into a restriction right around 17psi, and about 750rwhp.
For the time being, we are now having the cast manifold CNC ported until we can see wether or not it is a viable kit. The inlet we just got back from the CNC this morning shows a 330cfm increase over our stock inlet.
So right now, our inlets are flowing 1390 CFM, as compared to 1060 out of the box.
We feel this should be good to right around 20psi. That being said, the graph in the first post is with the original unported inlet.
For the hardcore dragracers, we will have a sheetmetal inlet that will flow farrr greater than any other part on the inlet track.
Hope that answers your question..

I know this is hypothetical bench racing at this point but do you have an estimate of what the 2.6 could do on a completely stock G8 GXP with the LS3 motor? I'm talking stock exhaust. I would love to retain great driving manners but still be able to haul ass if needed. Thanks.
I am getting this for a FACT. Wife has given me the go ahead, I just need to save up for it.
August of 09 and it is mine. That is when I will have the funds necessary. Hopefully you don't sell out by then
Maybe some sort of layaway? So I can lock mine in and start making payments.
The numbers this Twin Screw is making are so sexy. You can run 550rwhp-750+rwhp just on 2.6L!!! So many choices! It covers so many buyers wants it's crazy!

Were currently finishing up the CARB approval process on the 2008 LS3. Being that it is the most enviromently strict LS based motor thus far (well at least to 08), All LS based motors from 1997-2008 will fall under one cert..This is due to the fact that they not only utilize the same blower, but the same general manifold design as well..
So to answer your question, yes, it will be CARB approved.

I picked up my D1SC yesterday, literally (met and moved it from car trunk to car trunk for transport lol). My LS2 is completely stock but I went all out and bought the D1SC, injectors, headers, mids, meth injection, KB BAP, etc etc.
I'm considering selling my D1SC & intercooler now before I even install it to buy this. You had mentioned "maybe" doing a GP on these. For us guys that already have the 60lb injectors & other forced induction supporting mods, can you offer 2 or more packages?
It seems like a single package wouldn't suit all needs for current FI/Non-FI buyers.
It also looks like a large number of us are curious as to how much $ we have to squirrel away from the woman and by when. I know you're still in refinement, testing, and preproduction stages, but any insight would help us.

I thought it would never happen!!!
