Scoggin Dickey Sheetmetal Intake?
Does anyone know anything more about the sheetmetal intake that GMHTP had pictures of in this month's issue at the LSX shootout race? I looks like it might fit under a stock cowl, but I can't find anything else about it at all.

I am very interested in this intake as well. It will supposedly fit under the stock cowl. That is what Scoggin said and I've heard that elsewhere. I want one, I really hope it doesn't cost more than a FAST LSXR set-up if it's a hundred or so more that's still on the high side, but for what it is it looks to be awesome for turbo set-ups and centrifugal set-ups too.
The only problem I see with this sheetmetal intake is on N/A set-ups unless it is a solid roller motor that spends it life at 6500-9000 rpm. If you look at how short the runners are to make this thing fit under the stock cowl the only way you will make mid range power is by having boost forcing it in there or massive amounts of nitrous at a lower than I'd like to go rpm on the hit. I guess we will see when it becomes available or they show results from testing on several different applications....

An arm maybe, but not both. Beck and Marcella in the area of limb removal .
Dont see this being a street friendly application given what appears to be a short runner. No reference to height in that pic but just sayin.... Wonder if they design "application specific" or you get what you see when/if you buy one. Part of the beauty imo of a sheet metal intake is having the intake designed for your application. Buying this "as is" would seem one-dimensional (i.e., FAST) picking up where the plastic intakes fall short.
