Who's gonna be the Edelbrock intake Guinea pig?
Just curious? Maybe this has already been talked about. If so please accept my opologies in advance. I noticed that Summit Racing has them in their catalog now and the prices look pretty good. I'm sure this will effect the LT4 market pretty heavily. Anyway, I'd kinda like to see and hear some results from someone. I don't think it's a bad deal if it yields pretty good power and it'll prolly be even better in ported form.

If they ever ship the LT1, (Summit), I plan to test on an engine dyno comparing a sorta stock GM LT1 intake manifold to the air gap manifold. I expect no power changes. It is nice though to have something brand new for the LT1/LT4 market.
The testing won't be soon but maybe in a few months.

It supposed to ship out 3/30. Anyone else selling them??
As w/ most items like this, I wonder if it has ANY fitment issues.
It says under the LT4 Application:
"Application Notes: May require minor cylinder head porting."
I wonder if that means for additional HP, or fitment issues w/ the LT4 heads.

There are a few people on another forum who have recently posted pictures of their new Edelbrock LT4 manifold. They were just shipped out to them this week. It look like there is still a small amount of gasket matching that needs to be done.

I just recieved my LT1 version last week from Jegs. I bolted it on my engine but it is still on the engine stand. It should be going in this weekend. Mine came powdercoated in LT4 red. I was expecting to come plain cast. But it does look good on the engine. If someone can tell me how I can post a pic of it.
