LT1 Intakes
LT1 Intakes Ok, two lines of thought here...I may make a seperate post...
1) The LS1 boys have the FAST Intake...do we have any form of aftermarket intake? Aside from the LT4 stuff????
2) Has anyone else seen the L98/SBC guys using a modified LT1 Intake?? Apparently they lose ~20 rwtrq...but gain a **** load of rwhp.

you still never got back to me on that intake youre making..im curious as to how it turns out, hell if it end up painting a pretty picture, i might try and coax you guys to make one for me. well, ill be paying of course.
The LT4 stuff isnt very appealing to me. The Lt4 itself was a great performer... but too expensive for what it is. I know our heads need a lil work to flow as well as the LS1 heads..just didnt know if were had a disadvantage in intake designs.

TPIs, are torque monsters, but I bet you gain a ton uptop once you ditch the stock runner system, that coke bottles at 4500rpm.

Verdad Gallardo I cant see the benefit versus the price on a bolt on or mild motor car. Jordan Musser and a couple of those guys can really work some magic on a stock intake, far as porting it out and doing some other work like cutting and welding on it.

besides doing something like that above, i know that edelbrock has a victor intake (efi) that you can get to work with the lt1 heads.

The LT1 intake is great from the factory. Its not a hinderance on these motors like the intake is on the ls1 motors. Nice short plenums with good flow. The basic LT1 intake ported will accomodate most any package unless you want to go forced induction in which case a custom intake might be more benificial.
actually from what i have heard, just the opposite. the lt1 intake is not as beneficial to those wanting to run all motor as an aftermarket edelbrock would be. as far as i have always heard, the lt1 is great for forced induction. i believe if you read through the link that i posted above youll find some great info regarding this subject.

Those are some of the options. Ours should see smaller gains but retain STOCK linkages and use slightly modified fuel rail.
I pick-up the fianal version next week. Have to finish up a heads and cam swap on a 396 to test it.
BTW there are NO internal differances from a LT4 intake and the LT1 intake made the same years All they did was add meat over the port to cover the LT4 heads port. the port on the intake is .100 lower then the heads
NO Edelbrock never put there intake into production. No one has made a cost effective solution that top's the stock intake. the passages under the intake run the cost up and then the gain on a stock motor is minimal.
I remeber back in 97 I was looking at getting the Mini ram but on a stock motor it only showed a gain of 5HP. Hard to justify $1,500 for 5 hp
I will let you guys know how the testing comes out. After the Flow testing I already will build the next one a shade different.
On that note I must admit if TPIs would come back out with the mini ram I know a few people who would buy them...including me

Well I plan on ending up FI eventually anyways... so its good to hear that our factory options are actually really good. 
I know its very popular to swap intakes on mustangs and apparently LS1 cars as well. After I started seeing TPI cars benefiting from our LT1 Intakes (By a rather large margin I think) I got interested in why I have not seen any options for us. Makes sense now.
I may convince my friend to convert his 92 Z28s intake to the LT1 intake. He ran 14.1 @ 102mph with a cammed L98. Im willing to bet thats a solid mid 13 ride with 105mph or better with a simple intake swap.

you have to modify the intake or your heads if you want this intake to work. on top of that need fuel rails and a different throttle body http://www.force-efi.com/parts.htm. then you need an airduct to go on the throttlebody http://www.hotrodhawk.com/images/airduct_mount.jpg
or

i have heard that there are some corvette guys that are fabbing something up to use the stock throttle body.
here are some more pics of the first airduct
