That is in the works as we speak. We just wanted to see what the intake would do out of the box. We'll be posting #'s as things develop.

Maybe this is why the new C6 Corvette comes with a 90mm TB more airflow for the 6.0L..

I had no doubts you guys would be doing this, I was just explaining to everyone else that was questioning the gains as weak..... a manifold can only do so much, when its being choked, here is a interesting idea see how much vaccum the motor pulled at WOT with the LS6 with stock TB in place then switch manifolds and measure vaccum again, ultimiately when you get to 0 vaccum you know you got a good intake and TB setup! IE no restrictions...... then if the HP is not there, then we can call it a flop or not, but from the results to far its definitely gonna be a good mod.

Jayson, did this motor have a 75mm MAF or an 85mm MAF?

I'm betting the big CI engines will see a good gain with the 90mm intake, 90mm TB, and 85mm MAF (I wish there was a 90mm MAF.)

I had my hopes up that I was going to get one in the first batch but never got a call from Thunder today. Now the big question is, when is the next batch of manifolds expected to be shipped to the venders ?

Can't wait to see what the 90mm combo will do! Great R&D guys. Thanks

if their was some way to change the electronics, the newer lightnings 99 to 04 have a 90mm mass air meter. so that would work out perfectly with a 90mm tb and lsx intake

If there is a demand I bet we will see someone make a 90mm for this setup. Maybe FAST will end up doing it.

Stock 75mm De-screened MAF. More combination testing to come!...

Thanks Jayson.

Maybe GM already has and we don't know it.....anyone know if they changed the MAF to 90mm on the LS2 to match the 90mm Throttle Body?

Good question. May be a while before we find out the answer to that.

I'd bet a H/C car , stock internal car and the big cube cars show a signifigant gain in actual ET numbers especially with an 85 mm or larger maf and a cold air kit that provides a positive pressure to the intake. I'll put money on that!

Thanks to MTI for providing the realistic research numbers. They have never been one to sugar coat #s and the customer is always satisfied. Kudos to you guys!!!

I really doubt the 85 MM MAF is gonna be that HUGE of a restriction is it? I know it's only a 5MM decrease but will it be something that measurable?

Jayson said it had a 75MM MAF.
