its basically the exact same as the stock one except for the air-gap gimmick.

Is it a gimmick though? Has anyone tried this on an LT1 yat and verified any gains?

It will fit under the stock hood. I believe the runners are also a bit longer and it will fit 58mm throttle bodies with no modification. There are some on ebay for $399 + free shipping.

I would have wished rather than just accidentally coming up with .250" longer runners they could have designed a pluenum with higher volume. At least improve on the idea rather than just cut out the bottoms for the 'air gap' and sell it.
