Also, you'll have a smooth idle. Unlike horrible street manors and loss of low end torque for sheet metal intakes.
Here's a 454ci LSX iorn blocked build that made 65 hp over a FAST 90/90 and 61 hp over his Wilson sheet metal. Its idles smooth at 600 rpm.

PN 25534401, GM Performance Parts has just released a new intake manifold that allows you to use a carburetor on your L92-headed LS2. The intake also contains injector bosses for fuel injectors-something that Livernois Motorsports took advantage of during the course of our testing.
and i can keep it EFI hell yea now i jus need a bad *** elbow. ideas????

If you're looking at spending upwards of $4,000 on a Beck, Wilson or whatever sheet metal intake you're looking at.......spend about half that much and get the Harrop ITB intake and whip the living hell out of any sheet metal intake. As in upwards of 60+hp more over the sheet metals.

If you want a elbow style for that manifold, I'd try John Marcella's. He has some very nice products for almost any application.
Here is a pic similar to what I think you are looking for.

wow that ****** nice bro, good lookin out ive never seen that do you kno his web site?
Just to let you know, that isn't sheet metal. That would be cast aluminum.
From what i've read, the Edelbrock is the one to buy, and stay away from the GMPP. I'll probably try an eddy on mine until I can get the money up to buy a tig welder.

For a L92 head, the only intake's currently available in "carb" form are the GMPP (don't go there if you want to make good power) or teh Edelbrock Vic Jr. Those are the only 2 cast intakes in carb form (if there is another one out there, let me know, as I have not heard about it nor seen it)
That being said, if you want to go sheetmetal, go Beck. The guy just plain rocks. He has done quite a few intakes for some friends over teh years (Hey John, you remember "the Anteater" you did for a 351W Fuel Injected based motor in a Fox Body for Dave E. out of Houston about 14-15 years ago?) Probaly not, but since it was such a "unique" intake, thought you might.

I think one of the problems with these intakes is the size of the motor (works better with bigger cubes) and the elbow.
The taller the elbow the better these intake perform. The GMPP intake is a bit lower in height than the Vic Jr so that's one reason the Vic Jr probably performs a little better.
I don't think it's fair to evaluate these intakes if a suboptimal elbow is used, like the one's that fit under the stock cowl w/o trimming, I think if these are going to work well on a hydraulic N/A motor the elbow has to have some height to it. At least that's what I "HOPE" anyway because I just bought all this crap!
With nitrous of FI I think the elbow used becomes less critical.

that harrop intake is sick. It would seem that if you are building a larger NA motor that you want to spin relatively high (7k-8k rpm's) and still maintain every bit of low end power and street manners, the Harrop intake is the way to go. However, not many people put enough money into a street NA motor to justify the cost of the Harrop intake. Its a shame, cause i would love to see more, as well as have one myself.
