Default Anyone notice the Trick Flow LSX intake on Horse Power TV today?

I was just catching up on my shows I have on my DVR and I was skimming through Horse Power TV and spotted an LSX style intake on there dyno engine that is similar to a Cobra R style velocity stack setup inside a plenum. I was just curious if anyone else spotted that or knew anything about it. I did a search and couldnt come up with anything.

If it works as well as their heads, then it could be some good competition for a few manufacturers.

Don't bring up a heat soak issue. It is miniscule at best.

heat soak has been beat to death and mostly pertains to track runs when waiting in the staging lanes so buy a bag of ice

I was thinking more about weight and how poorly the weiand performed.

the weight doesn't matter for something that small and made out of aluminum, it will perform better than weiands intake. they did over 4,000 endine dyno runs to get this combo right were they wanted it.

it was on last weekends or the weekend before on the powerblock. they toured TFS factory and showed some LSx combos and talked about it a lil bit.

weiand is coming out with a new intake in summer and it will perform very well plus it will be composite BUT it's not their design. a company from the big down under R&D'd it. Weiand is just putting their name on it.

Ahh I see. I didnt see any of that. Like I said I was just skimming and seen the intake. I know when they toured BBKs plant they were hyping the TPI intake and that was over a year ago and they have yet to release that thing...

There is definitely a lot of product development and testing that has to go on before they release something. The fact that they haven't said anything about it tells me they are still in the initial testing phases. Kinda like they are trying to figure out whether or not it is worth producing.

I would love a H/C/I package like TFS's 5.0 packages instead of just the H/C package
