Default ETP intake

Anyone have any info on the ETP intake that's supposed to be released this year?
There was a thread in the dyno section comparing the different intakes available and someone mentioned ETP was coming out with a new intake that was supposed to blow everything away. Just looking for specs, pricing, whatever is known.

Default manifold

we wont be releasing any info until it is ready for market. a manifold actually takes a lot more testing than a cylinder head to hit the target numbers, trying to keep the lows and mids of a FAST and gaining the high number is what we are aiming to do and it will take some time to finalize a design.

look for some word on it towards the end of the summer.

No, it was in the pictures from SEMA or the PRI show I can't remember which. 8 individual intake runners with an oval/rectangle throttle blade in each one. The Harrop is a killer intake also .

An observation:
There must be a second piece to this intake that those runners bolt to. In the pics above there is no bolt holes that line up with the manifold holes in the heads. So I guess there is a lower half that bolts to the heads and then these runners/trumpets bolt to that. If this is the case I hope the lower half is angled down and possibly forward. I doubt that would fit under an F-body cowl if the lower half is straight .
Then again, it may be for 'vettes and GTOs only .

The f-body cowl will be our downfall for these types of manifolds...if you contact Harrop, they'll send you the technical drawings of theirs, but I don't think it will clear the cowl from what I've seen.

The C5 doesn't have that much room under the hood either. So it would be in thier best interest if it was a low profile design.

Something like that isn't designed for the average street car...the cost alone will usually dictate that. The throttle response alone could cause driveability problems if you aren't careful...

I took there technical drawings and compared them to the measurments I took off of my FAST intake. From the measurments I got, I don't think the cowl will be a problem. I'm more worried about the vacum nipple in the back hitting the firewall than I am the cowl stuff. If modifacation is required, it will be minimal. I'm ordering my Harrop next week unless patriot has a tenative "soon" release date.

Would that type of intake/individual TB design make more power everywhere on an ls1/6/2/7 motor ? With bolt-ons and a cam of course or h/c etc. ?

ID TB intakes are far better than any single TB intake that we have out today. Power is improved, TQ is vastlly improved, and idle is 100 times better, alowing for more radical combinations to be not so radical. One of the Dyno sheets I got from Harrop has a 427 ci motor with LS6 heads gaining 70 rwhp over the FAST 90. I'd say that's a touch better. LSX designed intakes are fairly restrictive, this one isn't, to say the least. The only problem we've had is finding someone in the US to make one for under $10k.

is this ETP intake that's being built right now being built on the design of the 11* heads ET has out or are they being built for an in-general purpose?
