For what its worth, we recently had TPIS make a manifold for livernois cnc l92's and fitted with a 105mm throttle body I will try to post pics but it couldnt have turned out better and it was only $1950 and took only the three weeks they had promised .

To be honest I dont and wont ever know, it is in a show truck that is being assembled once. And with a 408, l92 heads and an 88mm turbo I really dont think me or anyone else would ever notice in the seat of the pants.

i just talked to kim naiser jeff wife..jeff builds the sheet metal intakes for his engines

jeff is the man when it comes to engines..he used to race prostock,prostock truck and runs his camaro in 10.5..he used to run a 427sbc that went 4.50s and the car was 2800# and now runs a 600 cube engine in it and has been 4.43 in the 1/8th at outlaw weight.the damn car flys and he is very good with engines.

when i get my heads for my engine they will be going to him for porting or curtis boggs at rfd.

Do you know of any cast elbows that'll clear our cowl and hood though? I need one.
