Default Harrop ITB for cammed ls1's?

I've been reading up on these Harrop ITBs, and all the posts seemed to relate to people running this intake w/ bigger cube motors. I know this thing is ungodly expensive, but how much power do yall think a 346 w/ a big cam and this Harrop intake will make over the same motor w/ the LS6 intake?

not many people have experience with this bc of the price alone. Somebody will chime in.

I hope some people on here will come foward w/ the info! But from the little bit of information I attained from searching (there isn't much info to read on this intake btw) it seems there are BIG gains to be had from this intake when you couple it up with some kick *** heads.

I would agree with that too. I have also read that these intakes arent THAT hard to tune , since one would be tuning each cylinder individualy. But that is coming from the limited number of posts that the ol' search button could turn up.

There are so few people because not only the cost, but the one or two people who did get them had issues with the butterflies in the throttle bodies sticking after getting hot / up to temperature since they used dis-similar metals, if my memory serves me correctly.

So take a huge cost, no exact gains, and problems, and people have found other options. Is it pimp, certainly. I'd love to have one, but not for $5k+ and no gaurantees it would work or how much gains I would see. For that cash, I'd get a bigger cube setup or procharger.
