Intake questions
Intake questions I was sitting here thinking to myself why are there not more intake options for LT1s? Is the stock piece really that good? LS's have both stock intakes, BBK, all the FASTs and Professional Products. And we have Edeljunk. After that it begins to be a custom affair. Also wondering why out intake tracts arent opened up accordingly like LS's are. H/C LS1s usually step up to an 85mm intake tract including the MAF and strokers are starting to use the 100mm MAFs/lids. Do our motors just not respond that well to this?

well first off i think the main reason for us not having alot of options out there is marketing..........its simple theres just not a big enough market for a performance lt intake....like when dart was going to build us a big bore ltx block......they canned it cause there wasn't enough want for it there was simply not enough money to be made........next to this 95% of the LT builds out there a ported stock lt1 intake is plenty enough for the application......it takes alot of motor to require more than a ported stock intake...........and if this is the case there are options out there for instance i switched to a ported Victor E EFI on my car with a 105mm mono blade and an elbow........so there are solutions out there if it is really needed however it will take a little work to make it work......
I've talked to alot of really bright and experienced people who think the stock intake is plenty capable, however the cam and converter need to be built around the induction package... I was going to go single plane, but with this converter I'll probably do the solid roller and leave the LT4 on there.
