Will it clear a stock z28 hood? What would I need for a complete install? Do you know anyone in here that has installed it and posted numbers? Thank you.

Why make an intake for the LS1 if it won't fit under the hood of F bodies?

Because a ton of vehicles have the LS engines, not just F bodies

Guys with street rods, muscle cars with LS swaps.....etc....etc..

It does fit though, just need to cut a few things out of the way

It would seem to me they could cast a model of that intake with 1" shorter runners and it would be golden for F-bodies.

I'm thinking of doing this, but need more specific info. I've read the hundreds of threads but would like specific info. if anyone has it or knows a good contact person at Edelbrock.

I currently run a 500HP heads/cam car (346 forged block) with no power adders intended in the future and am using the FAST 90/90 set-up with speed density tuning. The car needs more air right now more than anything. I'm running 10.75 now but am trying hard to run 10.50s. This is a drag-race only car so windshield wipers are already gone.

Will this Edelbrock Intake work good with my set-up?
What mm is the intake?
I have a Fiberglass Fabricators Inc. custom hood that already raises up higher than the original WS6 hood. Would this work?
What do you cut the wiper blade/plastic piece across the front windshield with so it will still look good?
Aftermarket fuel rails required?
What about the MAP sensor that currently hooks to the back of the FAST intake? Is the MAP sensor going to be able to read accurately the individual ports of air flow on the Edelbrock as it does on the FAST?
Can the FAST TB be used in conjunction with the Edelbrock Intake?
Any idling issues known with the intake?
True there's a new model that came out better for the F-Bodies?

Not trying to hijack, just need some good info.

I don't know that this intake would be the one for your setup. I would think your next step would be a single plane with a 4bbl TB setup.

Oh, ok, cool. I wasn't sure what that meant. What else can you tell me about this intake? The 4bbl. Flow better than FAST? What mods needed? Who sells them and what brand? PM me info. if you need to. Thanks a bunch!

The problem with going with a Vic Jr, or GMMP is that you have to re-cam which will add to the cost. The Accufab TB will flow somewhere around 1250cfm. The single plane should pull more on the big end and allow you to spin the motor up a little higher. You should be able to recoup most of your costs for the new intake by selling your 90/90. Here is a pic of my setup:

LOL Actually, if I drove around for like 6 hours and decided to pull directly into the staging lanes the iat table would probably pull a couple couple degrees of timing. OH noes!!!!!! Luckily I got some nawz to take care of that.

Default Little bit of Info

Here is a fit chart. The PN 7140 is machined for standard 90mm throttle bodies. (The 7139 fits 3-bolt LS1 and Edelbrock 4-bolt 90mm). It's cut down a little in the front and includes an o-ring grooove for the throttle. I think it's the one you'd want.

I'd put my money on the XT over a Victor Jr. All of the dyno curves on it go straight up to 6500, no hint of nosing over. The eight equal length straight runners seem to make up for the 90° turn from the throttle body to the runner. Plus since you are speed density if you really want to get after it you could get a shop to convert the XT into a dual 4V throttle body tunnel ram!
