Good article featuring a very clean 2001 SS with an 800hp 460ci engine. Best part is how clean and stock the car looks. Very tasteful mods done to it including some UMI parts!

I respect the sleeper look. Definitely my preferred look. I hate those wheels though. Everything else is awesome. I'd love to do something similar with my car, but we'll see how life plays out.

Gotta love the sleeper look , I'm sure it surprises people all the time thinkingits just a camaro.
That would be my ideal setup, be fast not look fast.

This is LPE 403's car.

The fact that it's NA horsepower, ITB setup, and unbelievably clean is just amazing.

Was this car in Michigan last year by chance?

But...it's a 460?

Only one 4th gen I know of with that ITB setup and OVERBUDGET tags...

Ya that ITB setup is completely ridiculous.

It's a dream/goal of mine to have this setup in my Grand Sport

I believe the article says they retail for $7k... quite an investment. What kind of performance will you gain from an ITB setup?

Irunelevens

Right. It says right in your links that he swapped the 403 for a 460.

Edit: And this was in the OP;

The gain isn't worth the $$

It would depend on the motor, displacement, etc as well.

I want it because it will resemble the 8 trumpets on the 4 Weber side draft Carbs that the Grand Sports came with. Add to that the fact that you rarely see any ITB setups (obviously due to cost and tuning).

I think an all aluminum, 427+ cube LS, with an ITB setup would be a nice tribute in my car to the original Grand Sports. Just my little dream, one day at a time

Edit: To go "all out" NA, you will see the most power from an ITB over any intake.

I second this. I used to design intake manifolds and the ITB is like the holy grail of intake manifold designs when you ignore cost and performance is the only thing that matters. I briefly tried pitching an ITB design for the ford 5.2L voodoo motor. I am still pretty damn proud of the compromised design ford finally agreed on. It'll be interesting to see if guys swap it onto the regular 5.0

Any idea how much power Ford left on the table by not going ITB? Just for discussions sake.
