In my Camaro daydreaming I was trying to figure out where the LFX picked up the extra Hp.. I think its from the plastic manifold. You figure the ice-olator helps cool the metal manifold on an LLT and gets about 20hp so maybe that plastic one in the LFX is not heating up...
Yea I'm about 99% sure the extra power is from the manifold.

What's weird is that the LFX is remarkably similar in design to the Pentastar that my buddies Charger has. I was poking around his engine the other day while we were installing his CAI and I noticed that they too have a plastic manifold as well as integrated exhaust manifolds.
