I saw those too, they're already ported and so forth. The LT4 kits in Summit or Jegs come with Intake, Heads, Cam etc and they're only like $1200, and I think there's just an Intake and Cam, etc setup for $800~ The heads flow better, the intake I think does too, not sure. The ports are bigger too for more CFM.

Nothing's good about them.. They're just not around like they used to be.. i sold mine to my buddy for like 200 bux about a year or so ago.. i'm sure kicking myself in the **** for that.. I'd let it go for 600 and still make a killing on it...

I saw that one with the ASM monoblade, freakin sweet, but you can get an LT4 intake from a Firebird or Camaro resto catalog for around $400 and I think the Monoblade from ASM is like $500

The one with the monoblade on ebay was my old one that Ben, a board member here was trying to sell. It was GTP-ported as well. I agree, they are going for a ridiculous amount. I had heard that they were running out, but I wish I would have bought 10 or 15 of them right before this happened and sold them on ebay.

They are absolutly necassary if you are doing a set of heads like the AFR 195 and up and the trick flow heads as well. They arent special but the runners are raised and mate up to these aftermarket heads. If Edelbrock ever gets it together we'll prolly be able to purchace their LT1/4 RPM air gap for much cheaper than $800

A couple bucks more and you can have a better flowing single-plain intake conversion. And make lots more horsepower.

The prices are going up. I deal in the Gun market also, and every time I see an LT4 Intake, it reminds me of how the prices for Assault Rifles are rising, so I hope they go up like the Intakes do..
Not tryin to change the conversation, but alot of **** is going up..

This may have been the one Turbo_6 (Ron) was talking about. I attempting to sell it at one time and was offered $650 from another board member. I was going to go back Single plane on the D1SC motor but decided to try it out with the LT4 monoblade setup first.
