Quote: But many already have spent the money elswhere and are at the point each additional HP costs a lot more.
Quote: I agree, I am always looking for more ways to make extra power, and I am at the horsepower levels where I am paying alot of money for a little extra horspower.
I'm in the same boat. Show me that it will make more power than the welded and ported intake I have now and i'm in. I'd like the option to have it set up for direct port as well. If I could afford a Hogans intake I'd have one.

I would definitely consider one and the 500 to $600 range is about what I would expect for this item. If that price came down to $499 it looks like your core market would be in that ballpark. I'm in !

This is so not going to happen for a EFI LT1 in this price range....
It can be done but since the base intake to start with is already $700 (but saves you in porting) then convert it over and make it run under a normal LT hood is going to take some more talent and money.
I still wish you luck man, but half of this fight is getting the design right.
