New Edelbrock LSx Intake Manifold at SEMA, claiming much more power than FAST

Well there you have it, I doubt it's going to fit on any factory vehicle that came with an ls1 due to either the height in the rear, or the height of the throttle body.
It's a shame, because it looks like it might perform well and have the good reputation that Edelbrock has for QC.

As of this afternoon, Edelbrock is conducting "product evaluation" on the LS-XT intake. In other words they're checking to make sure the castings are defect free and that the machining is following the blueprints they specd. It will take a week or two for this process I'm told. I honestly don't anticipate this manifold to be in high volume production for at least another 6-8 weeks. Just my guess, and I hope I'm wrong but that's the impression I get. They only have one chance to get it right for "the first time release" of this new part. I believe they're doing their typical high quality QC so there aren't any "suprises" after it is released.

It should fit trucks, and possibly the GTO with a cowl hood and no strut brace.
I do believe they had more of the retrofit guys in mind.
I wouldn't be suprised to see a LSX crate motor from Edlbrock sporting it either.
I'm thinkin' it would look good on my Silverado, just have to see how it does down low first. It may kill too much low end for a tow vehicle though.

Yep. And another plus is that it looks like it will work with 5.3 truck accessories. That's a big plus for me, as my '69 Camaro has a 5.3L truck motor and my options for a "pretty" intake are fairly limited without changing the accessories.

Why do they have to think of the fbody with every thing they sell? Go buy the fast or a ls6 intake, They are great.
I am running the 6.0 intake on my Nova , This will replace it when it is released. I will keep the fast on my Trans AM
