Damn that looks interesting
Need to check:
--fit under F-body hood & cowl
--[b]throttle body compatibility (3 bolt or 4 bolt or both)[/img]
--stock throttle cable fit
I don't think stock fuel rails will work, but I don't see why you couldn't use what ever fuel aftermarket rails you currently have, you might need to change the cross over though.

From the pics you can see its a 3 or 4 bolt! TB You can se that they have a 3 bolt TB on it and you can see the hol for a 4 bolt TB

They said it should be out in January 09. I think I am going to by into this intake. They said it will fit under a 04-06 GTO hood. I have a ported 90 MM throttle body so I am not sure it will accept my TB.
OK, where are all the naysayers who are going to start bitching about
HEAT SOAK

Do some more research 1st! you will see that if you run that intake with the elbow with hurt the performance and its best if you ad a 2000cfb TB on top of it and you will gain a good 20-30whp. I was going to do the vic with elbow until i saw how much the elbow was choking down the motors

I think it will work well with my cam. I really don't care about any HP gain. I am very happy where I am at right now. Doing it for the looks . It looks wicked under the hood

A daily driven car will see some heat soak with any alum intake that is fact, thing people don't understand is how little it matters.
Everyone thinks that becuause a car with a roots blower loses 50 hp from heatsoak that anything with an alum intake is gonna have the same problem. You will have some heat soak, to the point that a degree of timing, probably ONE degree will have to be pulled due to the intake charge being a touch higher, whoopie.
I do wonder why something like that hasn't been made from fiber reinforced delrin, a simple mold with a machining finish process could be done that would result in the same thing that wouldn't have the issues, and the cost would be a ton less... why noone has gone down that path I don't know.
