....but, what do you guys think of adding ITBs to an LS1 or LS3???

Think it's worth it?

I'm sure it'll add more power than let's say adding ITBs to the FA or any other small 4 banger.

How much power do you think they'll add to an LSx engine?

The "marketing/generic dynos" say it adds a good +60whp, which sounds awesome. And it sounds like a quick, simple and easy way to add power without going FI and also still using the stock block ...just slap it on, bolt it on, get the maps tuned so it'll run and figure out throttle cable or electronic throttle.

I got the following link from the DriftWorks blog...looks super nice and perfectly made for the LS3, but that company is in the UK so idk if it'd be hard to get. Are there any other good reputable ITB brands/manufacturers/companies for the LSx easily found or made in the states?? Also, anyone or any shops in the states that have knowledge/experience in installing/tuning ITBs on LSx engines in the states and making them work well (electrical, electronic throttle controls, ecu tuning, etc.)??

LS3 + ITBs in an FRS/BRZ would be the bizz! ...you can show rich Ferrari and Lambo owners that you have ITBs as well, hahaha
