Ours won't be available for sale for several months. We just sent the design and prototype samples to the factory a few weeks ago. I realize there are too many posts on this thread to read all of them but we have addressed this question several times.
it is difficult to give an exact availability date because between the inception of a new product and having finished parts to sell, a lot of detours unfortunately can take place. Right now I would take a very rough guess at four to five months.

just got off the phone with byunspeed. they say the 96mm for ls1 isnt out yet and chances are that when it does the price will jump a big amount for this..just to give anyone a heads up if they didnt know this already

We do not have the pricing yet on this throttle body. I am guessing that the standard linkage version will be about $240 retail. I have no clue what the one with the motor will be. A lot more, probably around $300 but that's just a guess at this point.
Another feature our unit will have is that the throttle blade will open from the bottom like the stock t.b. does. Other aftermarket cable operated LS2 units open from the top which is not the optimum way to do it.

Update on Professional Products Manifolds A couple of members of this forum have suggested grinding away part of the lip where the port runners dump into the plenum. The general consensus here is that modification may help top end power but lose some on the bottom. We are going to modify a manifold in this manner and run it on an engine dyno compared to our unmodified manifold. Also while we are on the dyno we will also test our setup against an LS6 manifold. Unfortunately our dyno guy is tied up this week and then is leaving for Bonneville so it will be a few weeks before we can complete the project.
On another issue, both our 96mm LS2 manifolds and 96mm LS1 manifolds have shipped from the factory and we expect to have them in inventory ready to ship to our dealers by the end of August.

Read a post on a similar intake made by this company for the Mustang called the Typhoon...a re-make of the popular Edelbrock Edition...ALOT of casting flash...mismatched intake to port entries and mismatched throttle body opening. Search in FORD MUSCLE for article titled "BUDGET EFI INTAKE"...I think it looks great but sometimes things are just, "TOO GOOD to be true!" Someone OTHER than the manufacturer putting one on with DYNO results? I REALLY want one myself but they have a bad rep for cosmetic problems...Personally I think most of us on here can DREMEL our way back into a budget/performance balance if their product quality is a hair off the norm. I just don't want a bunch of people running out to buy the next FAST or LS6 replacement only looking at price...

We are constantly striving to improve the cosmetic appearance of our products and I think we have made good progress particularly in the last year or so. With respect to our 5.0L Mustang Typhoon, I just went out and checked the inlet opening against a 70mm throttle body and considering the opening is a cast surface, the alignment between the two looked to me to be about as good as you could expect from a casting.
Several independent sources have dynoed the 5.0L manifold, all with very good results.
While you can critique some cosmetic aspects of our products, I know that as far as performance is concerned, we don't have to take a backseat to anybody. Our SB Chevy race manifold consistently makes more horsepower than manifolds costing much, much more. And interestingly enough, it does it while using less fuel.

Jim, i would like to know if PP has considered manufacturing the type of elbows or plenums that sit on top of the 4150 carb. intakes for use with EFI and a round tb opening which are becoming the norm and popular for LSx engines making big hp,
i have installed a similiar piece like the one that PP makes for the modular motor on a friends mustang with a larger PP tb and intake manifold for the same car how ever i see that is a stock replacement piece
i believe that those types of elbow intake plenums would sell very good among
the LSx crowd and any using carb intakes converted to EFI,since GMPP is releasing carb intakes that are machined for use with injectors, but there is no really elbows but the fabricated ones from sheetmetal and the really expensive cast ones that cost as much as the intake manifold.
i think its great that you respond to our members questions about your products directly and use our input in your products and is not going unnoticed among us.
seems like the LSx market is growing in all directions every day
as how even imports and other domestic brands are swapping LSx engines into just about anything that will accept them!
hell, even a Fox body mustang accepts an LSx engine a lot easier than a mod motor.
thanks for considering this

We are very impressed with the LSx engines. I have had two of them in my personal cars. We also offer a couple of nice dampers for these engines and also have some coil covers in the works that are actually designed primarily to work with our manifold since the stock covers will not clear the fuel rails that come with our setup.
Thanks for you comments about our products and about my participation in this forum. The kind of feedback and info available on a forum like this is invaluable to a company like ours.

Our 96mm intake manifolds are scheduled to arrive in the port 8/26/06. Probably be here in our warehouse four or five days later and then we ship them out to our dealers.
The 96mm throttle body is still at least four or five months away.
