GGPC, why not use the GM Ram Jet? Or is it (just the intake) more than the Steath Ram? Since these use (it appears) GEN III+ TBs, I'd think we could get them from the forsale and ebay for cheap. Kick down for non E transmission users would need a mod I think though.

The GM Ram Jet's plenum is a little small. Its a lot like the edelbrock piece. I dont know what it would do for a modified engine.
No new updates really. We are taking our time and getting a system down so we can cut down on the labor side. I'll post pics of the final product that we will test when its done.
The air gap and machining off the crossover are two separate options. Its looking like $100.00 for the air gap. I would like to just cut off the crossover for part of the base model. It has no function for the LT1.

i have been going crazy trying to find the issue,either super chevy or popular hot rodding but they did this(similar) they did a small amount of work to the SR and put it on a either and F-body or a B-body about 7 years ago.
they dynoed it and the car lost 8-10hp but gained 20tq.....they also did a superram along with the 300 bolts!
i realize the difference of what you guys are doing as far as OPTIMIZING the SRs full potential with a little massaging....
i am sure all your efforts will be rewarding

Alright, you need to get this done and show us some results (after seeing more Edelbrock results, which really SUCK!) I am ready to buy. I have 100% decided to put my 385 LT4 in my 95 TA, instead of a built LSx. I am building a 69 Camaro, so I am going to use the parts I already have to finish my TA, and use my "toy" money on the 69.
So if this looks as good as I am expecting and performs as well as we all expect I am ready to buy the Ported LT4 version, my 385 has Lingenfelter ported heads.

I finally started work on my intake design, it's based off of some modifications I've seen of LT1s, but takes it a step farther. Shouldn't take long to do, or even cost much. I'd say, w/o porting the intake, a total of 2hrs of work (at the most). If I had a welder that'd do aluminum, I'd mod one up!

I just stumbled on to this thread. I machined a Stealth Ram to fit my LT1 with AFR 220 heads a couple of years ago. It took some work but it seems to work nicely. On the dyno it pulled to 6900 rpm without falling off. It is currently on a 350. The induction package is eventually going to be put on a 396 stroker setup. But for now I had this 350 short block done and ready to go so it was easier to bolt it on to it. As far as fitment goes It is in a B-body, all I had to do was mill a 45* angle in the rear top of the plenum to clear the cowl area of the fire wall. It's a tight fit but it works. I have a ASM 50 mm throttle body an 42lb injectors. I have a areomotive fuel pump so making fuel lines was easy.
I have several other pics of it in the car on a different computer. I'll gets some on if anyone wants to see them.

"LT4 version"? You mean one that'll bolt up to the same pattern as LT1 but with slightly taller ports? 
Been awhile since I read the thread, but I believe they mentioned compatibility for both. I mean, people will want to port them for their ported heads, after all.

I think they should look into doing this kind of intake with dual 3800 TBs 
I don't see it being too hard to make a crude, non-cast style. 3.5" pipe capped on the back with the runners tapped into it. Hardest part I see would be the runners since they are of a rectangular design, and I don't know of any rectangular thin-metal stock you could easily use. Head mounding would be the use of an header flange style with the runners welded in. Then you'd just need to fab/find a valley pan.

^ That would be an interesting design. I could see fabricating something like that rather easily. The only problem I potentially see is the lack of runner length. You could obviously lengthen that, but then you'd start running into hood clearance issues. I wouldn't mind cutting my hood and think it would actually look sweet to have two of those poking out, but some people are panseys and don't want to cut on their cars.

Honesty it reminds me of the Edelbrock ram gap grap they have. Of course there's is red. All though it looks a little bigger like the sheet metal intakes. #'s will prove ever thing!
