picked it up off another board...lt1s have a problem with intake volume, this wont help volume but wonder if it will help flow?

 

that's interesting, wonder the gains

 

Never heard that Lt1s had problem with intake flow or volume.

 

looks sketchy to me.

but if your gonna install it take pics and post gains.

what did you pay for it (if you dont mind)?

was it less than the as&m monoblade?

assuming it will work and not have massive intake leaks what other mods do you have to support that much extra cfm?

just a couple of questions please dont take offense to any of them.

 

The LT1 intake manifold has a shortage of plenum volume at very high HP's.... but I don't think anyone has ever determined at what point that happens. That's why everyone questioned the Edelbrock "air-gap" LT1/LT4 intake design. It appeared (and later was actually measured) to seriously reduce the plenum volume.

The transition of the top of that modified intake is not going to do much for smoother flow. I would guess its going to get fairly turbulent when the air rushing through the top of the throttle body turns downward and deflects the air flowing through the middle and bottom of the throttle body. Without flow testing it, we'll never know.

With regard to plenum volume, it doesn't appear to change much. Raising the roof of the plenum would produce more significant results.

 

I believe the 93 intakes have the most plenum volume due to lack of a fuel rail crossover

 

I take it that is an LS1 throttle body on an LT1 manifold?

Interesting..

 

A lot of these "problems" are grossly overstated, every kid that wants 450rwhp thinks they need a single plane and then guys who know what they are doing and using good parts are going well over 500rwhp without much modification of the stock manifold.

Still interesting and I wish you luck, but don't think the end result will be that groundbreaking.
Distribution is a bigger problem and I see nothing there to help it.
