I've always been interested in ITB setups. Within the context of the Gen V LT1, why have there been no entries into that field? For the most part, fuel rails and injector ports are not needed to design this intake as it would normally, since this is a direct injection motor. I know that many places prefer to swap to Speed Density instead of Mass Air Flow but, I still think it's a viable option.

I would think it's possible to have an ITB setup, where each port has its own small filter, in a shared plenum for each bank, feeding into an inlet that is essentially the size of the stock MAF tube. The hardest part always seems to be the throttle linkage and tuning. Again, with all of the room you'd save from fuel rails and injectors, I would think that the throttle linkage wouldn't be as much of an issue. Also, I see no inherent reason why composite components couldn't be used instead of cast or carbon fiber. Stuff like that would just drive up costs, in my opinion.

Pic for reference on an LS, in order of concept I was speaking of.
