What a shame all the r&d and for what, to sit on top of some old mans street rod thats see's wot once a year leaving the local car show... Even if sheet metal intakes lose a little down low and are not ideal for every app people still spend big $ for them. They could have shortend the runners some and would have sold a ton of these things??

If you read more into the thread in the gen III forum you will see its roughly 8.5" from the valley cover to the lowest point of the cowl. Which means you will need to get about 1.5" of clearance to fit this thing under a stock unmoded ss hood. I think...

Can't wait until they hit the shelves. I have an iron 402 I am building for boost. This would look wicked under the cowl hood of the 66.

This intake will def be better that a carb style intake,but will require some work to make it distribute air better.I'm going to get my hands on one and mod it to fit the f body as well as some internal mods.If it works out well i sell them fully modded

Any large open plenum feeding equal length runners will have better distribution than using a carb intake, with unequal runners, and a very sharp elbow on top.

Again..carb still has a small volume of air before each runner, of different lenghts and shapes.
A large plenum feeding each cylinder with an equal runner, will perform well. Almost like a large LS6 intake. lol
