That Harrop is SO FCKNG COOL! I heard about the one from the other guys that had the TB sticking to the MAF sensor - speed density tune would be a MUST to prevent that issue, but even still it would be significantly cheaper than the Harrop intake. Here's a pic of the one that allegedly hangs the TB open a WOT.


Still a cool looking piece if you ask me, and I'm sold on the idea of functional ram-air for the '05/06's with the scoops.

that looks really cool and can you imagine the wicked sound that would issue forth from ITBs on a LS2?

The company used to be called Arrowhead Performance, but is now known as Dominant Motorsports (DMS). I've never dealt with this company myself, but I've read where they've had some very unpleasant customer feedback. Do your research first! You can find reputable places that will stock and sell DMS stuff without having to deal with DMS directly if you decide you don't like what you've read about them. PRG04

I don't think that it was ever was produced. There are a few prototypes floating around but that's about it. The bottom line is that someone who worked at Arrowhead let loose the secret that they couldn't tune it. The truth is a lot of Arrowhead products that they stuck on their display cars were non-working models...like this and the Hurst shifter. The owners of Dominant Motorsports where the investors in Arrowhead. They started Dominant Motorsports to try to recover their losses when Arrowhead got caught screwing everyone.

The "Harrop Hurricane" intake system is $5800 for the LS1 GTO and $6450 for the LS2 GTO.
