Post #11 of the above thread has a picture of an LT1 air intake assembly for a 4thgen Camaro SS. It might work with a Formula hood if it could somehow be positioned under the hood's bulge.

But it almost completely hides the LT1 intake, so even off to the side to fit a Formula hood, it would probably hide some of the TPI intake. And the "look" is an important characteristic of TPI, so hiding it might not be asthetically-pleasing. ...or it might look really cool off to the side, who knows?

Edit: Here's an aftermarket reproduction, available from multiple sources:

Also shown at Hawk's, maybe available, but maybe not, is the GM original product:
