I wanted one bad but I must admit I am quickly losing interest in it. Also, I don't give a rats azz what people think of my wanting one, I've never been a "cookie cutter" type. Considering the projected cost, I wonder what the miniram preachers will say if the BBK runs with or better than their precious minis.

A mini is too expensive IMO and I dont want to modify a LT1 intake, too much hassle. Plus the L98 isnt exactly a powerhouse so I want something that take advantage of its strong points.

It;'s on the burner. Brian is saying late summer for production. With the 1.70" inside diameter of the runners it has a lot of potential. That is larger than anything out there except the First.
I pitty those who wish ill will on a company and its product. Especially one that is willing to put out a new product for a motor that has not been made for 16 years.

my BBK intake works just fine.Along with the the 52mm throttle body. So waaa to all who think they are crap. At 11.90 in the quarter and 121 mph...it doesn't matter except for the brakes!

Getting testy? Relax!I have been waiting for this intake to come out before you were a member of the Corvetteforum. I called the company years ago, and they said it would be out sometime in 2007.
Brutal!
And to answer your question. The miniram is a great intake, but not for everyone.

So late this summer? What is the projected price range? Anyone know if we will have hood clearing issues?

There was an announcement about it in one of the (many) car magazines I got about a week ago. Didn't give a release date. I am sure they are just doing their due diligence to make sure the product is as correct as possible. I am still interested myself.

Read an update on thirdgen.org and someone said late 08 maybe? They also stated something crazy like $400! That's not much at all! Hmm, more food for thought. Sorry I don't remember their name. Shouldn't be hard to find. Those thirdgen guys are just as obsessed as everyone here.
