Gauging Interest in L-92 Sheet Metal Intake

Don't mistake my ignorance for being rude but I'm not very versed on sheet metal intakes. Is the fact that its really just straight tubes to the intake ports mean you can take a good guess at its performance or RPM range might be? I'm interested, but getting in on this GB without knowing anything about what it will do is a bit hard for me.
Thx in advance.

And with a set of LS7 or ETP 265/41 heads flowing near 390-400cfm, there ain't know way a 90mm TB can keep up.

What about us fly by wire throttle body guys, what would my options be for the throttle body besides a ported LS2 throttle body which i already have. And how many do we have in on this GP so far.

We are considering leaving the TB's out of the Kit if most people want to pick random size TB's then we will need you to tell us what size and style and we could make the intake to fit.
If we left the TB's out then the price would be around $1250.
But we need a total of 10 orders at least or we will not make this kit.
Here is what we have so far: If you would like to do this setup then add your name to the list please

AND....The only reason I would get one is because the FAST 90/LS7's are quite cheezy and the weak link for big cube engines, therefore I would want to know, FOR SURE, if it's going to outflow them by a LONG WAY, not just a little bit. The Harrop is very expensive, so if yours (with a 105mm TB) flowed like a Harrop I'd certainly buy yours.

2) A 105 mm tb wont add much if anything in the way of power unless you're building a solid roller 8500 rpm 402, or a 430+ cube motor.
3) A FAST 90mm intake wont work with the LS7 heads. End of story
4) The harrop is 8 54mm throttle bodies. That is a pretty big surface area advantage over the single but I don't even see you needing bigger than a 90mm. However the single will be much cheaper.
5) If you're really worried about having enough air for your motor, just buy the LS7 heads and intake combo and play away. You'll have enough air to carry your motor to 7000 rpm and still make 650 rwhp with enough cubes and big enough cam.

I would use a sheetmetal intake or Harrop with either the LS7 or ETP 265 heads.
