That's interesting. When did they release this for the LT2?

I imagine this will be more mid range and less upper RPM than pTR. This would make more sense to me as no one has unlocked the ability to shift the DCT at a higher RPM yet.

Lo-Ram intake has incredibly short, fat, runners. Unless you are making peak power at 8500 rpm +, it is going to lose power everywhere. These intakes have runner lengths tuned to make power at very high rpm, with the understanding that you will make less power and torque below 7000. That is fine if you have an engine setup to make only high end power. The problem is, when you install these intakes on an engine that has a power peak of 6000-6500 rpm, not only will they lose low and midrange power, they will lose top end power because they can't spin high enough to take advantage of the short runner lengths

They are popular on boosted setups where the missing midrange power can be compensated for with more boost. They are often run for clearance and the fact thar they have a dual fuel rail option for big (1000 whp) setups.

Even the Holley Hi-Ram is too short to make power unless you are running very large cams, but its closer. The Lo Ram makes zero sense unless you are spinning 8500+!
