TPIS CORN 427 w/L92 Heads & Custom Intake (56K, beat it)
Here is a little project to bring holiday cheer to all. This will be wrapping up soon over the holidays. Old numbers were 530/505 with ported 98 heads/TPIS 90mm intake and the new numbers will follow. Things are getting interesting. I have no idea what the intake costs but its the first one.
Here is the intake and yes it fits under the fbody cowl
And here are the heads. The only thing done to them was a slight mill. They flowed over 330 at .600 on the intake as cast

Intake runners extend into that box by about 2" more?
Or do intake runners end at the box?
Entry way on the intake manifold match the intake runner on the head?

Some information for thought on this.
First, I need to emphasize this is for a street car, not a race/trailer queen. During the development of this intake TPIS they tested a cathedral port version of this intake on a 390ci LS1 with ported LS1 heads. It made 615hp, this was 40-45 more than the typical 90mm set up along with the same cam as this 427, the ZL-17. This test was done using an early version of the intake that had 1" shorter intake runners than the one pictured above. The one pictured above was made to fit f-body's, but will not fit a vette. Vetter owners would need the 1" shorter intake.
This intake is the first one to fit the L92 heads that they have made. TPIS will produce more of these. I'm not going to speculate on what the price might be on this thing, if you really want to know call TPIS.
as far as the MAP sensor it will be drilled and tapped into the back. It wasn't quite finished at the time of the pics.

My question was, looking in thru the throttlebody:
1. Do the runner extend somewhat into the plenum area for longer length than we can see "outside the box"?
2. Do the runners extend right to the plenum area, so what we see "outside the box" is the intake manifold runner length?

man, that thing is sick, i just keep coming back to this thread to look at it. The top flat piece i think might just set it off if it didn't have those two creases in it and it highly polished
