Default Edelbrock "carb" style intake

Putting LQ4 into 3rd gen camaro and want heads/cam/intake. I saw this edelbrock carb style intake and thought it would be cool/different.

How are people making these work on LSx's. I have a few questions.
1. Can it work w/factory computer/harness (which I already have)
2. What do you do after deleting MAF-it cant work on carb style T.B.
3. Do all necc sensors bolt on? no emissions stuff needed.
4. speed density tuning?

Vendors!?Anyone-please help. want to get this figured out for big winter build!

a fast 90, or an ls6 intake would prolly take care of everything you are trying to do.

ive got the GMPP intake myself with a carburetor and love it.

1 Don't need any harness, the Edelbrock has it's own harness that provides a fire signal to the coils from the crank sensor
2 bolt on a carb, the intake is meant to convert an LS1 to a carb application
3&4 It's a carb, you tune it with a screwdriver
You'll need a fuel pressure reg to bring down the pump pressure to a carb friendly 6psi
There's obviously more to it than what I posted(this is just what I remember from an article I read)

The manifold I am talking about looks the same as the carbed version but is drilled for fuel injection. They even have a kit w/rails. I really dont feel like going the "carb" route with this project.

Most guys put on a bolt-on 90 degree elbow and a forward facing throttlebody. Then make some custom intake tube with a MAF on it.

The intake is less responsive than a FAST intake below 4500 rpm, but shows better power beyond 5500 rpm.

pretty sure you can tune in speed density mode without a MAF if you use a 4bll throttle body setup.
it should outflow everything for max HP
