it doesn't matter what block since all heads are universal.

reason for a wilson elbos is because they are proven to work and are easy to get you don't have to worry about the welds breaking on a fabricated elbow, plus if you have room under the hood to not use one of those short radius elbows why would you?

The 105mm is because they are running 4" IC pipe and don't want to neck it down at the TB. the only 105's made use ford TPS and IAC so they will not work with a stock gm computer.

Jim, what heads are you running? Are you taking advantage of the 6 bolt per cylinder?

the amount of air moved has nothing to do with the motor, all short blocks will move the same amount of air at a given displacement bbc,hemi,sbc,bbf, the power adder and heads and cam will determine how much air the combo moves so no it does not matter what block is being used.

Elbow: The turn raius on ones designed to fit under stock hoods hurts the flow. Just look at those elbows then imagine the air trying to hit cylinders 1 and 2.

TB: 105mm flows a lot more:

STOCK 1998 & UP CAMARO LS1 75MM
TESTED @ 5" - 337 CFM
CORR @ 20" - 674 CFM
CORR @ 25" - 754 CFM
CORR @ 28" - 798 CFM

ACCUFAB 90MM RACE
TESTED @ 3" - 449 CFM
CORR @ 20" - 1158 CFM
CORR @ 25" - 1297 CFM
CORR @ 28" - 1369 CFM

ACCUFAB 105MM RACE NEW PRODUCT
TESTED @ 5" - 635
CORR @ 20" - 1270
CORR @ 25" - 1422
CORR @ 28" - 1504

I'm not worried about an intake fitting under the stock hood. I plan on going with a VFN ram air anyway. So, as far as I am concerned, that has no influence. I know you were responding to the other guy though.

The cast elbows are almost impossible to destroy vs a sheet metal one.

No idea. I just was looking up some info on the 105mm a few months ago and saved the link. I didn't notice that, but it is a valid question.

I'm aware of that. What I was saying is that the guys running the LSX block arent trying to make 700HP they want to make 1000-2000HP and therefore they need an intake that can handle that kind of airflow.

I called acufab not too long ago and they explained it to me. They have 2 versions of their IAC adapters. Each are $75. You need to figure out if yours is a screw in or press in. For the TPS you have to use a ford style TPS and change some wiring in your harness. From what I've gathered it's only around 3 wires, but I have never performed this so I don't know how involved it is.

Is anyone running that Wilsons LSX sheet metal intake? I know its not really cost effective but, it sure does look like a nice piece.

a mate of mine is thinking about running it but he is a bit concerned about the money side of things-

since the wilson sheetmetal will rob or a brake even on a n/a car unless they turn up the rpm- the ? is would it suit a fi car better or will the gmpp intake and vic jnr be just as good for our needs and still come in way cheaper-

any feedback would be good as katech did a back to back test on n/a car running the new wilson intake the results were it did not pick up anything up top?

but fi is different so i am interested to here others point of views.
