Introducing Our New C8 Corvette Billet Intake Manifold!

[@floridahighperformance]

Happy and thankful to be a part of the process and cannot wait to install these on several of our upcoming builds!

[@ParagonPerformance]

Great overview and behind the scenes of the engineering of your billet intake manifold! The results speak for themselves, nice work!

[@gordocarbo]

MInd blown on this piece. What an absolute work of art! Looks as good as it works.

[@faviobeccaria]

Sensible engineering, outstanding results!

[@Emilthehun]

Awesome craftsmanship!

[@jeffmachul9562]

My god! You are what makes America great! The design and craftmenship on thia is amazing.. i have been around high performance cars for over 60 years and this one single piece of equipment is ground breaking. Like you said! Hotter cam? Little bigger throttle body headers?

[@imkeerock]

I don't have a Corvette YET but hopefully one will be in my future soon. I enjoyed watching this video. It was interesting seeing the entire process and the whole team at the end. I hope you guys sell a ton of these.

[@thatguy3468]

I can see a huge benefit from the port fuel injection option as a way to keep the back of the valves clean, as direct injection doesn’t address that issue which potentially can become a serious issue with higher mileage.

[@gordocarbo]

Agree...I see nothing about DI that would appeal to me. LIke the idea or port injection for the same reasons....even my carb lol

[@lucysmith4242]

Great video, great process, appreciate being completely open on the entire design testing and confirmation of the development of your products

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Awesome product development.

[@stealthhydra8298]

I don't have a C8 but I love this, this is awesome.

[@justinvanburen8259]

Damn!! That’s beautiful!!! Great work guys!!!

[@arielsanchez5587]

America Enginuity at best, amazing team and top-notch facility...God bless America. Beautiful work...he is correct massive gain for just a bolt-on manifold. We will make Corvette Great Again lol🥰

[@Eschelonistic]

Nice work guys, that is a massive increase to the development of the C8's original platform.

[@executiveinvestments]

This motor has been around forever. And the gains came from the tune.

[@nickarh9267]

You can’t not tune this intake if you want to take full advantage of it. The parameters are altered enough making it a requirement. It’s no different with a quality set of headers on nearly all vehicles with fuel injection, carburetors, whatever.

[@executiveinvestments]

@@nickarh9267 the gains come from the tune. The intake does basically nothing.

[@executiveinvestments]

@@nickarh9267 you DONT need a tune for this intake. The intake does nothing. Saying this is the same as headers is laughable. Educate yourself

[@IFBBPRO917]

This is a great presentation! Great work guys!

[@ronmathis9020]

Totally badass operation very impressive!

[@gordocarbo]

The top view...is beyond words...so much thought went into this. LS parts are butt ugly but this one? Wow.

[@ajchrome3239]

Nice. Paired with a hot cam it must rip

[@gordocarbo]

I cant believe this entire setup. I wouldnt have believed it was a production piece if I saw a pic of it in 1990, 2000. Imagine if GM didnt have all the EPA constraints on them.

[@eduardoestebanab8049]

I will like to see some ITB on a c8 Corvette

[@gordocarbo]

With the tall variable length stacks that we saw on teh st in teh 70s and 80s..just anodized .

[@LWRC]

Great explanation on the overall design of this billet manifold! From design, machining and final assembly and test! The heat soak issue being addressed shows attention to details on the total design! This manifold would be a killer if the engine had twin turbos - it would be interesting to have this manifuld on some of the aftermarket tuners that are running twin turbos! Not sure what manifolds they are running but I'd think this would be beneficial. Also, just for comparison as the overall concept and design has been proven, how would a 3-D printed manifold made of high temp resistant polymer perform? I'd imagine it would be the same except it would be lighter! Great job guys!!!

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

I wonder if the manifold was ceramic coated inside and out if that would prevent heat soak, or at least reduce it.

[@gordocarbo]

Amazing gains!! Parts today from mfr as so good its tough to improve on. To lengthen the runner and gain everywhere!! Quite a feat...I really woundt care if it only gave 10hp its a gorgeous piece. I like shiny stuff when I pop the hood. Not cheap plastic I dont care how fast it is That shot of the top/outside of the intake is MF art!! Id sleep with taht next to me lol Cant believe the size of the ports, and the power todays stuff makes with teeny cams, mpg etc. Never woulda guessed!! Remember the C5Z and C6Z...figured that 427 was as good as it was gonna get Congrats guys! Wish I could do some porting for ya! PS ...do those runners have taper to them such as a typical ls removable runner? Curious

[@kylemilligan752]

Skip to 11:20. He says 5-10 hp over the stock manifold with a stock tune. 23-28 hp with new intake and tune. Never mentioned tuning the stock intake combination. I'm calling shenanigans

[@nickarh9267]

Wilson is an extremely reputable company and I can assure you, shenanigans aren’t in their vocabulary. This intake provides a dramatic increase in air flow over stock. Tuning is a must if you want to take full advantage of what this intake is capable of. Headers will be the icing on the cake.

[@gordocarbo]

You kinda have to retune, the sfi are so sensitive to changes . So the increase, sure some of its in the tune but without its not optimized.

[@kylemilligan752]

@@nickarh9267 tune the stock intake manifold, then tune the Wilson A to B . Will be 5-10hp, now let's look at the curves

[@leesylvester8713]

Beautiful!

[@Quietprofessional1]

I imagine head porting would help too

[@executiveinvestments]

I imagine most of the gains are from the tune they did, not the manifold.

[@antoniogrullon7404]

​@@executiveinvestments me to, because the engine were using stock cams... if cams no change even u change manifold, better tune produce more. in combo new manifold and cams yes do the job as we hoped

[@executiveinvestments]

@@antoniogrullon7404 yes they kinda bull shitting saying it was from the manifold when they did a tune.

[@nickarh9267]

Not true. You can’t alter the intake manifold that dramatically and not make adjustments for the significantly increased air flow.

[@executiveinvestments]

@@nickarh9267 100% true. The increase of power is from the tune. Learn about motors lil bro. Just changing the mani does basically nothing. And you can just change the mani without doing a tune. Car would run fine.

[@Spad68]

Very cool but Hmmm . I wonder why i don't see anything for the coyote of this caliber on the website I mean the coyote had proven itself to be among the top dogs in the motor arena.

[@gordocarbo]

If the demand is there and it made sense you may just see it happen .

[@finwaydiddy1977]

Nice but…. The C8 doesn’t make power with just one mod. You have to go and put different heads, cams, etc…. It’s best to keep the car stock unless you take the engine out for major work.

[@GGWConsulting]

Ok… everyone calm down. More to come. 🏁

[@vertisjohnson219]

Just out or curiosity, is that intake CARB complient, and do you have, or know of a credible shop in Cali that could install it?

[@2seep]

It’s just an intake manifold. Very easy to install on a NA car. Almost nothing is carb compliant which is ridiculous because all this is doing is improving flow. Just install it my guy if you have a new vette, you won’t have to do smog check until 7 years after it’s new.

[@funfun8095]

Who cares!? Move out of commiefornia!

[@BulletSpoung]

What size NOS kit are people running? 200HP spray.

[@wilsonmanifolds4299]

We are currently putting a 2 stage direct port on our C8. Planning on 275HP shots.

[@utahcountypicazospage5412]

Is Wilson the people who make fast intake manifolds or not the same people

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Not the Same as far as l Know.

[@brandonautosales]

ten thousand dollars?!

[@evcass69]

Nylon version?

[@TBagr]

At least you have 2 young men introduce the part.

[@2023C8HTC]

$9500,Are you guys nuts?

[@funfun8095]

Why don't you research other billet manifolds and see how cheap they are, then research Wilson manifolds! You get what you pay for. Don't whine, because you don't have enough money.

[@SixGunTodd]

​@@funfun8095while you aren't exactly wrong i think its more important to relate it to other performance mods per dollar spent. At that price youre getting mighty close to some supercharged options which would knock an NA C8 into the weeds at any speed.....I'd call that money better spent.

[@funfun8095]

@@SixGunTodd Some people don't want the complexity of power adders. Some people compete in classes that are NA only.

[@SixGunTodd]

@@funfun8095 Granted....but you're talking a tiny fraction of C8 owners, perhaps fractions of 1%. As for the complexity I disagree, adding port injection might in fact be far more complex than simply adding a supercharger system (I've installed about 20 systems in my tenure of various makes) and some are quite simple.

[@richardpauza2075]

[@crushthequarter6863]

[@johngatsby1473]

Absolutely beautiful product but the pricing is too far out of line for such a small amount of hp/tq gains. This should be sold on the walmart pricing model.... quantity sold at less = more profit vs few sold for too much. Sorry but thats the facts.

[@Sergio-ih6lk]

Beautiful, work, just saying.

$9,500.00 - $10,000.00?! Mother of God! That’s ~$350 per hp. Gorgeous no doubt, but as mentioned, you’re far better off using that amount of cash somewhere else. - Heads/cam for example. Unless you have the $ and desire to have this; by all means. I very much envy your financial situation. 💸

[@executiveinvestments]

lol. What a scam. You also tuned it. You would have gained probably the same with a tune. Stop trying to compare a stock motor to a tuned one with a bogus heavy ass manifold.
