I've been wanting to run the cathedral EFI version but cant find any info on them. There haven't been any dyno comparisons done.

Mast has a split LS3 intake that has been tested in an EFI setup and did OK, but only if you plan on running some RPM.

From BTR...
Ok guys, sorry for the delay in testing this thing, but I finally got around to doing some more single plane testing yesterday.

The results were as follows...
100% stock GM crate 6.2 LS3
235-25x custom cam
1-7/8 dyno header
All pulls were run with EDDY elbow w 102 mm TBI
Eddy SuperVic 594hp @ 6800 490lb-ft @ 5900
Holley Split race 603 @ 6800 494 lb-ft @ 5900
TFS single ( this was ran with a very nice custom 1000cfm carb as there are no injector holes) 580 @ 6500 rpm
These test numbers are the average of 3 pulls all made to 7200 rpm .
All pretty close IMO and probably wouldn't see any difference on the track between the top 2 manifolds.
A 1 inch open spacer HURT power to the tune of 8-10 hp on the EFI setups !
Was worth a few on the carb setup .
They both had pretty much the same distribution as well.( 8 wide band O'2s and EGT'S.
