hey guys im thinking of typing to adapt or remake(from Scratch) a ls1 style intake for a tpi motor what do you guys think

worth it?

 

what design aspect are you looking to keep? there is no way to modify the intake to fit a gen1 engine. If you are just going for looks, thats kind of pointless, and the design of the ls1 intake and head ports are totally different than a gen 1, and thats where the flow advantages come from.

 

what your trying to do would cost more than its worth. If this were even remotely possible i think someone else would have tried it.

 

there are plenty of options if youre looking for more rpm out of a TPI motor:

1)miniram
2)stealthram
3)edelbrock proflo
4)superram
5)carb intake w elbow
6)siamesed TPI

of course, your stock heads and cam will limit the power you make at higher rpm since they were designed for the TPI system

 

I'd rather see long tube, TPI style runners, on a LS1 bock, but the airflow style wouldn't match real well. Maybe higher rpm/different flowing LS1 heads?

 

Somewhere Jesus is crying after that post...

 

Uhm, isnt the LS1 intake already 15" or so runners? I've seen the inside and those things are pretty long.
