If all you care about is achieving a look then get an injected carb style intake and then a Mast DBW throttle body adapter, you'd just need a speed density tune and confirm hood clearance with an air filter of choice. Thats been floating around in my head for a play on an SS 454 with an LSX in an old chevelle or something. But in a new car? Whats the point?

Converting to carb requires an ignition module and I wouldn't run an injected fuel system regulated below 10psi but thats just me. You'd need a lot of ECU trickery too since most people doing this put it in old cars without the electronics. Its a lot of butt pain for no real reason and crappy gas mileage.
