LT1 Tunnel Ram ?

I have seen it written several times that the LT1 uses a tunnel ram style intake. Could someone explain this to me please ? When I think of a tunnel ram I think of a tall intake with long runners with two holley carbs.

On the 92 Firehawk, SLP put in a tunnel ram intake on, aka T-Ram, but that's not an LT1 powered car, but simply an L98 with a different intake manifold, different cam, and probably some worked heads by SLP.

The only thing I see in common, the LTX intake looks like a mini tunnel ram. it has the same sort of shape. plenum and runner placement.

I dont think it is much of a tunnel ram by hot rod standards. probably more of a next gen thing. Marketing BS is my real guess.

The holley stealth ram seems more so like an EFI tunnel ram then the LTX intake.

Ram tuning is the same, the L98 is ram tuned, it just has longer runners. The LT1/4 takes a straight shot into the intake.

The Stealth ram looks more like a tunnel ram with a plenum on top.
