Bryan, you know I respect you, but why do you hate the ls4 so much when jr and flit showed dyno proof of a 12whp gain with no other changes? Every little bit counts.
Yes it takes time to get it tuned to where it drives almost like the stocker, but it CAN be done. The only issues I have with it yet is getting it to idle below 1k with the id1000's...

Which is exactly why I'm working on a 3.5" intake. Have all the pieces just need warm weather to put it together.

Actually, slow isn't always bad u til you get to the head. Air is an object, which has mass. The energy of the air is mass*velocity^2. The slower the air is moving, the easier it is for it to change direction because it has less kinetic energy. That's why a lot of the good aftermarket intakes (like the ones I made at Roto-Fab) have a large intake tube that decreases down to throttle body size at the TB connection with a taper (velocity stack).
That way you have free(er) flowing air through the bends of the intake, but get your velocity back up before going into the motor.
All blowers, and especially roots blowers, HATE sucking. Anything you can do to make the incoming air easier to get yields a multiplied gain. We did tons of testing when developing our intake for the Maggie charged 5th gen camaros. The velocity stack method worked best.
Heck we gained 23whp on the dyno just by switching the air filter from an aem dry to an s&b oil on a camaro with a Maggie and heads/cam and our intake.
I'm not just some random enthusiast throwing autozone pieces together.
Oh and the intake I'm working on is only for the original lsj's

And original meaning those under 60000 miles ?

Most kiddies on this site think bigger is best, when in fact it isnt. That's why I wanted to see what your plans were for use of a 3.5" intake.
Also, I'm an engineer myself, didnt need the speech on air & airflow
