Carbon pTR LS3/LS7 Carbon Fiber Tunnel Ram Intake Manifold
Build a lighter, cooler, and more powerful LS induction system with the Carbon pTR Intake Manifold—a high-performance modular tunnel ram designed for serious LS-powered street cars, hot rods, resto-mods, race trucks, drag cars, and marine applications.
The Carbon pTR combines a lightweight carbon fiber upper plenum with a durable PA6GF30 glass-reinforced nylon lower manifold. This advanced construction delivers exceptional strength, reduced heat soak, and approximately 10 pounds of weight savings compared with many traditional aluminum tunnel ram intake manifolds.
With interchangeable velocity stacks, multiple sensor and accessory ports, hidden valley packaging, and support for LS3- and LS7-style cylinder heads, the Carbon pTR gives builders the flexibility to configure the intake around their exact engine combination.
Tune the Runner Length to Match Your LS Engine
Runner length plays a major role in determining where an engine produces torque and horsepower. The Carbon pTR’s modular velocity stack system allows you to adjust the intake runner length to complement your camshaft, cylinder heads, exhaust system, gearing, and intended RPM range.
The manifold ships with the longer velocity stack configuration, while optional medium and short stacks are available separately.
Longer Intake Runners
Longer runners are designed to improve:
- Low- and mid-range torque
- Throttle response
- Street drivability
- Acceleration through the middle of the RPM range
Shorter Intake Runners
Shorter runners are better suited for:
- High-RPM LS engine combinations
- Drag racing applications
- Large-camshaft engines
- Maximum top-end horsepower
Different runner lengths may also be combined to help smooth or reshape the engine’s torque curve for specialized applications.
Carbon Fiber and Polymer Construction
The upper plenum is manufactured using five layers of high-strength carbon fiber, a foam-core flange, and high-temperature epoxy. This construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio while helping reduce heat transfer into the incoming air charge.
The lower runner assembly is manufactured from PA6GF30 glass-filled nylon, providing strength, reduced weight, and resistance to heat soak from the cylinder heads.
Accessory ports, sensor provisions, and supporting connections are packaged inside the engine valley for a cleaner and more organized installation.
Together, the carbon fiber and polymer components provide approximately 10 pounds of weight savings compared with competitive aluminum tunnel ram intake manifolds.
Built for Boosted, Nitrous, and High-Horsepower LS Applications
The Carbon pTR is not limited to naturally aspirated combinations. The manifold has been tested at more than 50 PSI, making it suitable for high-performance turbocharged and supercharged LS engine builds.
Integrated nitrous nozzle bosses are located on both the outboard and valley sides of every runner, providing a total of 16 nitrous provisions for custom direct-port nitrous installations.
The manifold also includes provisions for three different injector body lengths, giving builders more flexibility when selecting injectors and configuring the fuel system.

Throttle Body Compatibility
The Carbon pTR features a 105mm forward-facing throttle body flange designed to accept throttle bodies ranging from 90mm to 105mm.
The intake manifold can also be reversed on the engine, giving builders additional flexibility for custom intercooler piping, radiator clearance, engine swaps, and unique engine bay layouts.
Sensor and Accessory Ports
The Carbon pTR includes multiple ports for common engine accessories and sensors:
- Two MAP sensor locations positioned at the front and rear
- Two 1/4-inch NPT ports for PCV, purge solenoid, or similar accessories
- One 1/2-inch NPT port for a brake booster, intake air temperature sensor, or another accessory
The lower manifold packages these connections within the valley to maintain a clean, professional appearance.
Nitrous and Fuel System Provisions
Each intake runner includes nitrous nozzle bosses on both the outboard and valley sides, providing 16 total nitrous provisions.
The manifold also supports three different fuel injector body lengths, allowing greater flexibility when building naturally aspirated, boosted, or nitrous-assisted LS combinations.
Optional PD ultralight billet -8 fuel rails are available separately.
