I am still keeping tabs on the LSx market and we have done a lot of work on the intakes since last year. As there are other projects that take my time (ones that pay the bills), the intakes sometimes progress slowly.
The intake photo posted on ls1tech is what you might call the 1st gen version. It takes a bit too much work to build these and it also has some issues with the amount of expansion in the LS aluminium blocks. The new version of intake is vastly superior in design and performance. I didnt want to post anything until we had some dyno testing done, but if you search you might find something.
Hopefully I will have some more updates in a month or so.

I am so glad to read than 22 months after your first published pictures...you are still working on R&D for what is going to be the perfect real carbon intake for a Corvette...
Waiting to read on your next results

How come prices are not published on the website though?
I'm curious to know what this stuff costs.

DRM made something very similar in one of their ZO6 in 2002...and Randy spent quite some time on the R&D; So many problems with the two HUGE air-boxes...I will try to find the pictures.

Control of twin throttle bodies can be accomplished in two ways:
1. Motec ECU for 2x Drive-by-wire TBs
2. Linkage system for a stock LS3 TB to drive a slave TB (currently in development)

As if it hasn't already been said,
sexy time, i like!
The cost is way justified if you know anything about building something like this, time + materials+intelligence = quality= $.
You said it's just a project for you. I can understand with the time commitment. The first is the hardest though.
A run of these would still be mucho deniro for most consumers, something that's hard to mass produce. I wouldn't trust 12 year old Taiwanese kids to slam something together like that.
I want to say very nice work though. That's way killer. Something you'd seen on an after market porsche from 9ff, Ruff or somebody. Or looking through the lexan deck lid of a Ferrari or Ghini. And for those brands, thats way cheaper than a brake change.
You could get some gold chain sporting, overly chest hair brandishing guys with bigger ***** that kickstands to shell out $ all day for them to keep their fake DD's impressed but the Euro market is where such an excentric & high caliber product would thrive.
No offense to a certain crowd but it's not in the budget for a lot of mulletiers! but who'd want to drool pbr & pseudoefedrin residue on such a pretty intake......maybe skull polishes out ril' nice and gives it that certain luster.
Sorry for the sarcasm peoples, I too cannot swing such a killer intake. i dont hate, i drool and appreciate. but you Sir, have it figured out!
