Looks like a RamJet. What were you're search terms to find this or what is the link?

It's an LT1... all you have to do is look and you can see the LT1 waterpump with the opti-spark peeking out from behind it...

I just wonder how it's going to look on a NORMAL car that doesn't run speed density (aka: you still need the MAF therefore the stock elbow won't cover the gap the cover leaves around the TB)???

ehh for $75 you really can't beat it, and with me planning on getting some fuel rail covers and doing the delteq I think it would be a nice addition!

It's going to have a big gaping hole by the throttle body.

That is a very nice price though. You really need to have some polished metal or at least a two tone paint job on top. If it's just one color I don't think it'll look nearly as good.

You really need to think about how it'll look with out the big filter in the picture or you'd have wasted $75.

Looks nice but I wonder how it will look with all the lines/cables we have running to the intake. That pic has no wires or anything on it.

Wires wouldn't really be a problem, even the fuel lines on LT1's go to the back...

Heat soak WOULD be a problem though... Maybe it's easy enough to pull on and off just for shows?

I definetly like the two-tone color idea...

we can custom make this in here man, and we can add anything we want to it.

But heat soak is a big problem here.

I would try but I think it would get in the way of my corvette fuel rail covers.
