The LT4 is basically the samea s the LT1 but ported a little bit... There is no aftermarket intake really for the LT1 because it is able to flow plenty and not restrictive like the TPI.

:iagree: But you'll need LT4 heads to make it work. Get a good stage III port job done on your heads and they'll flow better than untouched LT4 heads. :)

Shhhhh, you don't have to yell... ;) There are several companies that do good port jobs. I'm going to use CNC Heads out of Florida (www.cncheads.com). You can expect to pay $1,500.00 for a LT1 port job (you send your heads in and they port them and send them back). :)

Cartek did mine and did a super job. Cost depends on how fast you want to go. Mild to wild.
