The space for the factory fuel rail crossover will look ugly and EMPTY
with aftermarket fuel rails.

It looks kinda like an intake on a modular ford.

Holy crap that thing is fugly. "Atomic Airforce"? I think they should have called it the "Super Atomic Turbo Titanium Platinum Deluxe Premium Presidential Ram Air Force". There's certainly enough space for it. Whomever thought that was a good name needs to be fired!

Still would like to see some text with a big blower and what kind of boost it will take befor something happens to it under boost. Crap I can live with the looks if it was the best thing since slice bread.

But again like Doug said I not seen nothing from MSD worth having for the LS motors. Robert

so, for my hard earned buck, 1k for a few measily HP, no interested

a dual throttle body application with plenum volume at the END of the air horns, with a nice turn would not only make more hp, it wouldn't be as hard to make

I looked at the OBX individual throttle body intake, only costs a couple hundred more bucks than this one!!!

fab up some nice big plenums at each end of the cross ram with even a stock throttle body and it would flow a ton and make even more torq

a big U shape plenum (like Nelson racing did) would allow a single throttle body if desired.

I was excited at first, after running the numbers, not so much!!
There are some lovely intakes out there if you look a hard enough. However very few will fit under the stock hood or even a raised one.

Also the intake you described is identical to the one used on the c5/6r and similar to the one used on the tvr 4.2 and 4.5 engines.

Looking at their dyno sheet, really no gains until 6000 rpms.

Yep he sold it.

Maybe a new screen name?? BlownBlueC6ZO6???

He hasn't been on for a minute.
