I'll wait till someone dyno's a full bolt-on internally stock LS1 with the 90mm LSX intake before I buy one. I'm still on the LS1 intake so it should be a huge improvement no matter what

And wouldn't a 90mm LSX along with a 90mm TB (and 90mm lid/MAF as well I guess) be too much for a stock internal motor, even one with good headers/exhaust?
And I wonder if adding the big stuff up top would also justify using 1 7/8 headers instead of 1 3/4 as well (talking 346 of course).

I'd say it would fit since they already make an 85mm, but if not they could make the lid exit more oval for clearance.
But would going from oval at the lid/MAF to round at the TB/intake cause any kind of flow issues if that were the case?

My shop is a big Pro-M dealer,So I'm looking into testing there MAF's..They do have a 90mm one.I would think the lid will have to be tossed for something else.On the test we did,my car picked up 4rwhp by just taking off the MTI lid I had and running nothing.
Maybe the K+N kit would be better?

Like was pointed out before. a 90 mm TB won't be a true 90 mm (like the lid and whatnot) since you have a throttle blade taking up some of the cross sectional area at WOT)

If the 85mm MAFs are properly calibrated and you tested it with a extension off the 85mm MAF you would probalby get some pretty good numbers
I'd like to see the following:
FAST with 90mm T-body
Smooth bore plastic tubing from the 90mm throttle body to the 85mm MAF (without screen)
more tubing to a big *** conical K&N 4 x 9 x 6.5 or similar
The above just for testing.
It would be easy to route a large *** K&N to the pass side fender area if your battery is relocated to the trunk like mine.
All you'd need is a MAF wire extensions, tubing and a K&N. Would be very simple to do

I was thinking of leaving the MA in it's current location and making a tube that would put the air filter in front of the radiator.(kindof like a twin turbo tube route)
We did put a conical filter on the MA while testing and lost 10hp/10tq across the rev range.The filter was about 10" long off a P1 Stang setup.

My LS1 intake still does OK
I was more interested to see you lost that much with the dual/dual, I'll have to open the cutout on the dyno next time - I would be happy with 15 extra rwhp..
Thanks for taking the time to dyno before/after on the lsx.
