well I went to BBK with one of my buddies......
he was having some testing done on his ls1.......
well anyways we got a shop tour.... and I saw a lt1 prototype intake in the works.....(and it looked nice) anyways it's supposed to outflow a ported lt4.......I told the guy that I would test it on my car when it's finished....
another thing they said is that they'll only produce it if poeple show interest.......
(I hope that I don't **** anybody off at BBK for this... )

well tell them to do it right. Use all of the stock provisions and hookups on the manifolds. None of this missing EGR or vacuum ports or crazy things like that. I want a direct plug and play manifold that gives a significant gain without costing me big $$$..

Let's see what comes of it. I remember long ago Edelbrock (or was it someone else) came out with a replacement LT1 manifold that couldn't even make more power than the stock one so it was pulled.

it would be nice to see a composite one made like the ls1's, there intakes seem to stay very cool instead of being a heat sink and getting hot and staying hot.

I would deffinitly be intrested pending price and performance.

I heard edelbrock is coming out with a new one.

Now what brings to question is I wonder if they're trying to improve on what edelbrock designed all those years ago. Still I wouldn't mind an aftermarket based LTx intake that was plug and play and offered gains. Composite would be nice. Don't the lsxs use a longer intake runner compared to the ltx?

I have been hearing that for 10 years now man, even saw pics in Chevy High performance back in 1996.

Even if it is only worth 10 HP I buy one if the price is under $300.

I think to gain power, the intake manifold needs to be redesigned. Maybe design it so that it looks like the LS1 style manifolds, would add power on the top end.

We need runner length.

If it has more plamum volume, longer/wider runners and would fit under the hood Then I'll buy it even for $600.

I don't have to worry much about hood clearance on my LT1 lol. But for it to sell it needs to fit under a f or y body hood

id be interested and yea composite material would be nice

Hood Clearance really isn't an issue with my car. I think us B-cars have at least a couple inches to spare

Yeah but the f's are TIGHT! I'f they made one that wouldn't work on a f or y body they probably wouldn't sell near as many of them. I guess we all can't be blessed with a "big one".

^^ good point

has anyone tried to build their own custom manifold?

Edelbrock and BBK are pretty closely tied I would about put money on it you saw one of the old failed Edelbrock manifolds with the dust brushed off. Something will be released to take advantage of the current market stupidity. They could release an inferior product at $500 and not keep it in stock people just want an intake. I am aware of some other R&D going on on this front and it likely would be a true upgrade, I am sworn to secrecy though. Just settle down, this thread is a prime example of why the big aftermarket companies sell so much CRAP, the meer mantion of a part that could replace a GOOD stock part whips up so much buzz the crp is on backorder even before testing is done. If people had a shreed of objectivity we could get MUCH better parts.

I refuse to hold my breath on this one. I did it for the MSD complete Opti and passed out.
