I also want to know. It's available for preorder so it doesn't look like it's out yet. I would be interested in getting the 90mm one. Just a question of when. Anyone who gets it, keep us informed on performance.

No one has them yet. But someone i know might be doing some R+D on them, and might be able to get us a good deal!!!! Im going to wait for the first batch to get out, It could end up like the LPE, and leak or something. I'll let others find out first, But chances are good it will top off my new motor!! :p

After the first of the year they will be available. That's what the top brass told me when I ordered my supply.

I was able to take a close look at a prototype this weekend. It's a very nice look piece!

There was an article about it in the Super Chevy magazine a few months ago...

...it has bungies for juice at each intake port and purports to flow much better than the ls6 intake...

...i thought someone here said it will produce modest gains on a stock cubed motor, however...

Price is $800; right?

Is anyone going to make a 90 mm MAF and Lid to compinsate for the 90 mm Intake? Or would it matter at all?
thanks

that is a good question. it may help a little, but TSP makes a lid for the 85mm MAF's and I don't think you would really see much gains with a 90mm over the 85. Also I would be willing to bet that most that go with this will have a FAST system and won't need a MAF anyway. But then again most may not, time will tell.

I'm sure most applications that need a 90mm TB will be running a different style intake arrangement. More than likely without a MAF sensor.
