I had been looking for this thread so I could post a solution I found, it took just several minutes too. I used a knife and cut away about ~2 inches off the end of the Z-28 rubber tube. There is a broad plastic piece inside the tube that is revealed, and provides plenty of space ~1-1.5 inches that allows you to use a simple band clamp onto it and connect it to the TB using a rubber coupler (This coupler was actually off my old K&N intake). The picture shows my stock TB, however the coupler fits the 102mm TB, as I had literally just taken the coupler off of the NW throttle body. My car is expected to be out of the shop in 2 weeks after a head porting and getting LS3 hollow stem intake valves. Anxious to see and post the dyno sheets! Hope to get a video of the pull!

I been wanting to replace my intake with something little higher since i got the turbos years ago. I got about 3" of room in there lol

This looks like the only one that will fit without a lot of work.
I think it would look good Powercoated Black to match my stuff.

Just been holding off to get one since Wayne has it and so close to me. But i dont think he would mind now if i got the same one after all the time

lol, you're too funny D!! Yea go getcha one, it will fill up that space nicely under your strut bar... And give you some more air flow for those turbo's. But remember, I got the FIRST one in Florida!! lol. According to Raf at LOD Performance.. Gotcha on that one. hehe..

Yea D, when I ordered mine 2 or so years ago, they were out of stock too. I had to wait about 4 months to get mine due to all the orders for them. With your setup though, since you don't race or run your car hard like the rest of us who have this intake, it's a show car, it loves to run and makes power above the 7000 rpm range, which is where I run a lot, is it going to be cost effective for you since your under hood and current manifold are all custom striped and painted. It is quite expensive and looks great and drives like stock or other manifolds, but is the purchase going to be worth the money to make it match your current under hood theme. Not saying you shouldn't get one, they DO look awesome under the hood, and do perform well. I love mine!! And it sounds really cool idling too!! But that is your decision to make.

Ive been looking/waiting to find the better intake (that fits) and have a few questions about lod intake.

my current setup is all new 416ci with max effort ls9 heads, over sized valve and so on. your run of the mill well prepared 416 and roughly 20ish psi boost.
ive been using my GPI rodd mod ls3 intake and looking for something thatll pull good till 7500rpm. im still using stock cnc TB and so on, as of now i have a GPI custom cam roughly .637/.647 dur. 234/258 @,050" LSA 118/ICL 113.
probably should add im still using stock 6l90 with 4K trip disc O D!

just curious what you guys think it would do by adding LOD intake on it?

[Watts ss]

is the 103 or 105 TB required or can F.I. guys still use stock TB?
great looking intake!

I would call or either email Rafeal Freshetto at LOD, he is the guy who designed the intake, and I know he is running a 416 in his Camaro, and he also has a friend who is running a twin turbo setup with this intake, as well as a couple of his other guys. I do know the stock TB will work, as that is what I'm running, but I think all the "new" designs in the manifold require the 103 or larger TB. His cell number is 845-499-9543. You might have to leave a message, but he is really cool to talk to, and can help you decide in what you want to do. Currently they are out of stock and have a lot or orders going. I talked to him about 3 weeks ago. Good luck.
