Now all we need is a build with one to quantify the difference if any......I'm hoping that it'll show improvement over a stock and even a stock ported version of the LT.....Too bad I'm not independently wealthy enough to afford my motor build right now......oh well the time will come.....

If their pricing is indicated any by the sbc version you're looking at around $900 plus the rails.......so it's expensive, but if it flow similar to a single plane and allows for stock hood clearance, I'd do it, but that's only because I like the sleeper look. Looks stock but hauls a$$........plus then the intake looks stock if you're into that street racing thing

A quick call to TPIS would answer this question.

are there any more articles or info on how these things flow? Will it clear a stock y body hood? I'm thinking of going to afr 210 heads, so I'm lookng for an intake that will flow simarly, 310 cfm. Is there much power increase versus a ported lt1 or lt4? I wonder how the cylinder distribution is as well....

Here's another pic of the LT1 MiniRam.
what ever happened to that guy whoses username was GPC or GPPC? somin like that who was converting HSR's for LT1's and had like 4 different configurations to choose from?? I know he got baned here for some reason but what about his intakes? they looked pretty promising, any one ever try one? any one know if hes even still doing it?
That intake is more aimed to the C4 corvette guys that cant run the HSR or a single plane without extensive modification due to hood clearance.
The runners are shorter than an LT1 by 3/4-1inch IIRC.

Depends on the build. Like I said on the first page, my buddy has a 383 (nothing too crazy) that made 26 more HP on the engine dyno with the TPIS intake vs. the factory GM one. 529HP to 555HP. I would imagine a more agressive build, especially with higher RPM's, would see more gains.
