I'm about to test a sheet metal/carbon fiber intake that has really short runners, 4.1 inches to be exact, and I am looking for 5000+ rom power gains on a 13.5 to 1 compression 402 inch motor... and am expecting the gains to be good.
One thing to think about, the lt1 motor's had very very short runners and are a mostly low end power motor, so just because someone says it shouldn't work, look at other engine's and the intakes that are on them, there's alot of stuff out there that works but on paper shouldn't Look at the harrop intake for lsx stuff, the runners on that are pretty damn short, and for the sake of saying, the plenum (open air under the hood) is as close to infinate as it can be, and that intake makes lots of power.

Anyway, I like it. I think it would be sweet if they put the original block-style 'EDELBROCK' across the top to give it an old-school look, though. I don't much like the script.

Even if this intake didnt work that well NA it would be killer for FI.
If theres heat soak due to the intake.. hell just spray it with methanol.. or even easier.. a small shot of nitrous.

Still think this intake looks odd, but if it has good gains for that price then I'm sure it will be more than welcome to the market

they should put the stock truck intake back on and do a comparo....for heads, cam and 90mm throttle body...and whatever else is done with the FI...it isnt that impressive.
