Stopped by the shop today to get an update on the progress of the intake. Main guy was not there so I talked to another guy to get some feedback. He called the main guy on the phone (who was on the road) and got back with me.
He indicated that it 'seems' that having two tubes coming from the throttle body is 'almost' an impossibility due to the amount of room needed for both intake tubes to occupy. This was based on the measurements that were taken. He told me that the main guy was working on a modified version of the dual throttled opening box of sorts that would be similar to the stock intake. I told him that would not be acceptable. I want dual intake tubes coming from each throttle body that would join further down the intake path towards the air flow sensor. If they can not come up with a solution, I will scrounge up something myself to testing. They have the flexibility to use stainless steel, silicone tubing with bends and/or aluminum if they must. Even plastic bends is acceptable. I just want two tubes merging to one. The tubes can be no less than 1.5" each. I looked around their shop and have a couple of ideas if they do not move on this. They are pretty busy and have other priorities but I don't want to wait months for something that can come together in a matter of a couple of weeks. I'll give it to Monday before making any moves myself. With the piping/silicone hoses and such they have, it can be done. So this is where I am at for now.
