A REAL intake
Picked this intake up awhile ago and will finally post a pic of it. Should be a butt kicker. Mating this with a set of SpeedDemon Stage IV heads and other goodies..got rid of the Holley alum.
gotta polish it up though :D
Here is a test fit pic on another engine... just for kicks...

Re: A REAL intake (Truck Guy)
is it a one-off, or, does someone possess the templates? can more be made/ordered? the runners are short, though. that will kill low end, you think? i guess it depends on the cube's its feeding. stroker motor? centri s/c going on? perfect intake for forced induction such as TT or centri s/c. not so good for stock cube/stock cammer's. it is damn beautiful for sure!!

That looks awesome! Now why couldn't GM have designed something that looks that good? Instead we get what looks like a dozen black donuts sitting on top of our engine.

Re: A REAL intake (QuickSilver97)
Right now I still have to put the thing on and test it out. I am testing it for somebody. If the tests all go well then I will post it. It was tested on a stock cube engine and it gained approx. 35 rwhp with just an intake swap, but it moved the band up about a 1000, so you need more cubes really for this intake or plan on a bigger cam with more duration.
The engine that it is going on top of is a 408 (6.0 block bored .030 over and a 4.00" crank) The heads are SpeedDemon Stage IV with a Jessel adjustable system for a solid roller. There is another piece that you guys will flip over once I get it. :D :D One guy here on the forum I believe is getting it very soon and I am number 3 on the builder's list for this particular piece.
The engine will be a rever, hence the shorter runner, but this intake will surely allow it to breathe. I am still looking at Jim Hall's TT setup. That thing looks amazing.

Re: A REAL intake (rschiltz)
I have seen one of these with a direct port nitrous system on it. I believe it cost the guy $2500 though. I am not sure but will find out. Looked real nice just like this one.

Re: A REAL intake (kewlbrz)
Much much cheaper than the Spyder also. I have yet to hear through the "grapevine" one good thing yet about that intake.
My intake, while geared towards larger cube motors was under 2k
