Arrow 2014 Camaro SS T-Rod modded intake install

A customer made a 7 hour round trip to purchase and have one of my T-Rod Modded LS3 intake manifolds installed on his 2014 Camaro SS. A week later he had GPI dyno tune his car and was pleased with the results. He was expecting 450 whp. His setup yielded 467whp/424wtq. Mods listed below.

Performance wise, no difference other than the diameter of the rod I use. I use aluminum rods (bolted/epoxied/sealed) and nylon blanks (locked/epoxied) into the base. I don't weld anything to the rods, I counter sink the front bolts.

The center posts are removed out of every intake manifold I modify.

As most know, Rick Crawford is the mastermind behind this design.
