Intake and Throttlebody upgrade!

I am thinking of upgradeing my intake to a pair of gsxr 750 FI TB's. The technology of a dual butterfly TB is awesome. The way it works is the primary butterfly stays closed to improve low and midrange power for cruising. But when you power command the TB both butterflies open up delivering full air/fuel delivery! Should be a very simple swap

The LT1 is an old motor, meaning there's nothing new to people who have been working on and running them since they came out. Why bother posting here if you're not willing to listen to people who just may be more experienced than you?

I think that you will find that the reason this works in the factory application is the huge rpm difference betwean idle/cruising and wide open throttle. It is more for drivability than maximum performance. Now, a dual four barrel TB set-up on a fabricated intake would be a pretty cool deal! (but would have the same drivability issues)
