PpppppppORN!!!!! New LS intake from Performance Design!

[John McIntire]

That is gorgeous!
Would love to hear the price on that!

Considering Katech is responsible for the engine in these beasts which have been using crossram intakes for years, this product doesn't surprise me. Though that doesn't mean it doesn't make me drool.

Holy Hoodclearance, Batman!

my thoughts exactly!

I seriously doubt your getting that under the hood of a Camaro.

I seriously doubt your getting that under the hood of a Camaro.

Or any front engine vehicle for that matter.

[Nemesis RR]

Yes it does look sexy but it also looks like it will be hell to fit under a hood, to afford, and to tune. And the real question is how much more power will it make over a conventional intake?

[tylers88]

hey, bet my silverado's hood is high enough, looks like an intake from a Ferrari 430, kinda anyway

[MuscleRodz]

Or any front engine vehicle for that matter.

ton of room in a tri-five to fit one of these. Definitely cool.

[LeighP]

Intake like that, why'd you want to hide it under a hood?

[Samckitt]

Looks pretty cool, but i'm guessing it will be too tall to fit under most hoods.

Mike, I was going to post that exact post! May be time to build that 55 Nomad my wife wants....

Just curiosity here:

So with the dual TB do you need dual TPS? If so, can most ECM's see dual TPS inputs?

Is it difficult to match the movement of the dual TB such that the TPS sees them as being in the same position within a reasonable +?

Think you need to go back to the function of the TPS to answer the question. Generally, the TPS is used to establish a rate of change of throttle to tailor the mixture, and for flood clear when an engine isn't running.

This should tell you only a single TPS is required.

I didn't think of the Tri-5's. But, that is still a pretty limited market. I mean, maybe a handful of top-tier Tri-5 builds, and a couple trucks of the same vintage?

My guess would be, this intake was designed for the sports cars that utilize the LSx in a rear-engine configuration alá; Mosler, FF GTM, etc. Why? I'm not sure, one would figure that the corvette market would be your biggest market.

Wow..looks a little like the intake set up on Larry's Motivator to me.


That is a nice set up but I know I could only look at it from inside the glass display case.

I bet there's enough room under the hood of my Blazer too, but I'm quite sure that costs several times what my truck and everything I've done to it so far has cost.

[robertjra]

any one know of a place to buy it!!!!

[killer67]

Target price is $4500-$5000 for intake only. Add probably $500 for rails, injectors,TB, etc. Not bad for something that incredible

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

daaaamn!.. thats a BOMB price!

hell i paid 3500 for my PMC manifold.. i would chock up the extra cupcakes to get this one.

This of course is just my opinion, but that price is totally not worth it. For the same money you can add a supercharger kit and get an extra 200+ hp. I doubt that this intake much HP over LS3 intake. Sure it looks cool, but so does the extra change left in my pocket.

Best question how much HP/torque does it add over stock

I am curious too.. Stock LS7 manifold is hard to beat.
