I'd agree with that but how many people are going to go with an ITB system
If you are making 650+ n/a and want good driveability and not choke off your motor it should be considered.
It's just as rare a those ~700whp n/ setups are.
With a huge solid roller camshaft and mozez heads, holley hi ram 105mm and high compression you should be pushing 750 to the wheels easy
That's a lot of power NA. Mozez heads will go a long way towards that goal, although a Hi Ram will not fit the Mozez heads, but the Mast Mozez tunnel ram intake will.
I was watching one of car builder TV shows a couple weeks ago. Not really paying attention either..... I don't even recall which one... Anyway, they dropped an LS3 into 60's model hot rod (again, don't recall what). The one thing I did pay attention to, was that they fit a new ITB set up to this engine. It was designed for cars that do not have vertical space under the hood, which was why they were using this intake/ITB set up for this particular car. And, they also wanted a 'retro' look. The ITB's were not vertical, but horizontal. They looked similar to the OBX set up, but that was not the manufacturer. The manufacturer was one of the big names, like Edelbrock, Holley, or Borla.... I've tried to find info on this using the all-powerful Google, but didn't have much success.
Edelbrock has the LS3 cross-ram setup (I believe) you speak of, but it wont fit under the hood of a vette. No LS7 applications either. It's purdy though...
edit: Oh sorry, just saw you said NOT vertical. If not Jenvey, probably Harrop?
I am wondering how much extra money is required to be invested on top of the $1400-1500 you can get the OBX system from to get it running worthwhile, enough that you might as well go with Harrop?
It pisses me off I can't remember more details. The reason it stuck in my head, was that it did look like it would fit under our hood. It was not Harrop, or OBX, but a very simular design. Even had horns for that retro look. Big name brand, and I thought it would be a real quick product search, but I did not find it. Oh well, it will most likely be announced and marketed pretty soon. The ITB set up would definitely support a big cube stroker though.....
For an ITB set up to function properly, I don't know where you'd look to for programming. Halltech maybe?

The vertical setup is actually pretty intriguing.. Doesn't look like anymore cutting than a high ram would need to fit.

Maybe it was a Borla Michael...they have a Ford 351W cross ram ITB. I cant seem to find anything for the LS3 in that design by them though.

I wonder if the vertical stack could easily be adapted by an enclosed box (transparent would be nice!) in the rough dimensions of a plastic manifold that could be cheaply 3d printed an hooked up to an existing CAI to keep costs down.

hmm upon thinking about it, I bet the runners would be too short for the street and in that case, for a race application it wouldn't be quiet right either.
The Harrop is probably the "cheapest" way to go for the street.

Gary or robz, from what I've read the peak tq is increased in the mid range and power carries further in the rpm band, but no one mentions the low range. How would ITBs act in the low range with a street cam?
