install document for new edebrock lt4 manifold

Found this on Edelbrock's website,
notice at the bottom of the document, it was revised as of
Last Month 2/2006, copyright 2006

so it does look like its actually coming out

Re: install document for new edebrock lt4 manifold

I particularly like this part:

For 1992-97 GM LT1 Engines - Catalog #7107
For 1994-95 GM LT4 Engines - Catalog #7109

And they're concerned about coolant leaks from the LTx manifold:

GASKETS: Do not use competition-style intake gaskets for this street manifold. Due to material deterioration over time, internal leakage of vacuum, oil, and coolant may occur.

Re: install document for new edebrock lt4 manifold

Have there been rumors of a price going around yet?

Wonder if these will gain any power on stock heads/cam cars or not.

Re: install document for new edebrock lt4 manifold

Is it possible that the LT1 has a mass production intake manifold that may make it even with the LS1?

Re: install document for new edebrock lt4 manifold

Even if it isnt a upgrade, it is a replacement for the now overpriced LT4 intake. I dont see Edlebrock putting their name on anything that offers NO improvement over the stock LT1 intake. If they do people will definately make it known. no company wants their name splashed all over the net for making a bogus product. Especially a company like Edlebrock.

Not everyone uses the intenet like we do to do reseasrch and MANY will "feel" a gain just because of the name. Granatelli and Hypertech have their following yet most of us here know them to be JUNK.
On LS1Tech an Edelbrock employee posted that their heads get some light grinder work after casting and end up flowing 16cfm more than stock, he posted that as if it were good, hell they market a heads and cam package that produces LESS than 400FWhp when several vendors here are capable of getting you that at the rear wheels.

Edlebrock and many other aftermarket companies are struggling to produce worthwhile products since the rebirth of the horsepower wars in the early 90s, today it is name that sells them parts not results. Their Gen1 stuff can be good but with the LT1 GM did a lot better leaving less room for improvement.
