why would it not be a big seller?

thats a pretty bold statement.

Does this seem like a step backwards to anyone besides me? I understand guys with older cars wanting to avoid the electronics, but harness kits are readily available, and it's gonna kill driveability & mileage.
Whatever...

It does to me.
I thought fuel injection was a part of Hot Rodding? At least thats the impression I am under from going to car shows.
I'll be dropping an LS1 into my 79 vette and doing a conversion seems like more work than dropping the engine as is. Just my thoughts.
That was my comment Steve. Fuel injection is much more practical by todays standards and the computer adjustments make a big difference over a carbed setup. I'm curious where all the power is supposedly gonna come from by adding a dominator? The current setups already flow more than most any setup can handle, and the newer intakes for fuel injection are gonna push it even further.

There is no ideal EFI intake setup available right now for the ls1 that makes huge flow #'s without crazy high dollar sheet metal intakes...
If you mainly want horsepower and to go drag racing this is going to be a GREAT idea.
Think about this. You can purchase a longblock LS1 for $1000 in good shape...and just bolt this intake on and its ready to go...pretty soon an ls1 swap in an old car will be no harder than bolting a standard SBC in them.
Id say if it makes 20-30 hp more than a ls6 intake on a heads cam car and doesnt cost to much, then you could still just put a throttle body type carb on the edelbrock intake and run fuel injection...

This will by far be the cheapest way to go all aluminum V8.

i wonder what the tuning will be like with one of these...
i see filters through the hoods of late model fbodies in the future!
i bet it will be rather pricey...with that msd tcm included...
