Exclamation How could we get these to work!?

I have always liked the twin TB setup so of course I think these would like SICK under the hood of our cars, lol. Anything like this already in production? What would it take to make them work on LSA, L92 etc heads?

And before the flaming starts, this is just a fun discussion that hopeful leads into something.

that would be cool but i think banks builds huge cubic inch engines that would need two t/b's. so to work on a LSx i would say bore and stroke it to 650 cubic inches and your set.

The ad says that it is for a 6.6L application, but then again that is a diesel 6.6L; is there any difference between a 6.6 gas and diesel except the obvious?

I think the c/r is quite a bit higher on a diesel thus requiring way more air.

Diesels require more air because the hydrocarbon chain is longer, making the ideal air:fuel mix to around 22:1. (if memory serves)

Why not make one from sheet metal? I'd think that would be simpler than trying to make that one work.
