Speed and performance intake.

I've never seen them before.

Two have popped ip this week, claiming to be rare and desirable.

Any truth to that? Performance gains? Fit in corvette?

Don't believe I've ever seen anyone use this one.

Looks like a TPI plenum modified to fit a double carb intake manifold. Probably would have characteristics similar to a Holley Stealth Ram, they look somewhat alike but I dont know which is taller. It may or may not fit under the hood if its too tall.

I like it though. Looks like good work, if it was a custom made piece.

So... It was a line of custom intakes from about 2009ish to 2013ish when the dude got cancer... He died in 2015and the company stopped updating its facebook page in 2016.

id guess it was a stealth ram base with a custom plenum made from a stock plenum.

They offered kits in chrome, polished and satin that came with a stand alone harness and computer.

Kits sold for around three grand!

Seemed like a company that was really into and did a lot for the hotrod community.
