No kidding! This adaptor idea would have died on the vine without you guys at WCCH. You guys spent so much time working with me and looking at goofy pictures of silicon adaptors and turbo bells from random websites hehe

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the time and effort you put into this -- it's not that often you find a company willing to go that extra hundred miles to get a crazy idea worked out -- especially on something that may end up being a one-off part.

CH, I built this originally to adapt a turbo setup to the Edelbrock intake. This layout reduces the plenum volume after the throttle blade and may prove to be a bit more responsive. Routing air ducting to the ttb is an unknown as of now especially for na setups. It may very well prove to make less response than mounting the ttb closer to the front of the engine as with sheet metal elbows, but on paper it doesn't seem likely.
I decided to post this to try to generate thoughts on alternative ideas to the restrictive truck intakes. It seems that the car manifolds require a significant amount of fabrication to fit onto the trucks. If this setup can be done more simply and economically then it gives the trucks another possible alternative.
I don't have any data from Edelbrock on the plenum size of their intakes. I'll dig around to see if that info can be found and report back. For sure the intake runner lengths are much shorter than the car and truck manifolds.

Doesn't Edelbrock make a performer rpm for the LS engine?

Yes, I was searching last night to find a rpm efi manifold with no luck. I may have not been looking in the right places though. I really like the idea of a performer rpm on the smaller engines and milder setups than the victor jr. I think the victor is gonna be awesome on bigger cube engines, but I am hoping to find just the rpm manifold by itself without the timing controller.

The hard part for us N/A guys is still getting cold air to the TB

I think you can get one, but you would have to matcine the injectors sleeves.

I'd make you the box lol.
I think I will man, Richard seems to beleive it should be cool too! I'll definitely be getting with you on this

That's why I want to do custom ram air set-up of some sort.

So really, I'm thinking that flange you make might open this up as a possibility for the smaller displacement NA guys, right? If so... awesome!
