New BBK Intake

I heard BBK is coming out with a new TPI intake. I was wondering if anyone had any info on it.

Not sure about BBK but Edelbrock is coming out with an Air Gap LT1 intake though! It looks pretty sweet.

Believe it if u ever see it lol

They were supposedly working on one.

I think the StealthRam at $300-350 has them forgetting about it since they wouldnt sell any at this point.

Would love to have a easy option that clears the hood automaticaly on a birdie though :-)

Too much brain storming, thinking about making my own poor man superram by cutting down factory runners and building a plenum.

Appears to much to ask and be affordable at the same time.

later

its a dead duck. bbk stopped acknowledging they were even developing such a beast.

like 3.8 trans am said, they wouldn't sell many at a price of $700-$1300 bucks.

all you have to do is look at their slow 5.0 parts and their cost to get an idea what they would charge for the intake.


why not run a victor Jr intake thats been converted for FI? that would probably clear your hood on the t/a.

thanks

Current as of last month. Been a lot of hype on CF about it, by the BBK rep.

Re: New BBK Intake

The guy giving most of the product info apparently is a R&D guy for BBK. No specifics on timing but there is an "who's interested in buying" thread in this forum and another BBK Intake thread in the TPI forum. Search for "turtle ram" as it's been unofficially dubbed by a few of us.
