I just recieved a message from (lexlyf) Marken Smith the Chief Marketing Officer for SRT.

He told me that the SRT high flow intake and ecu combo for the 90-94 LS 400 should be ready in 4 to 8 weeks.

I believe it will be about the same as the currents ones out right now for the newer models.About $700-$800 i think.

Good news! Hopefully the 95-97 version will be close behind

I wish SRT would post more pics on developmental parts.

Man i cannot wait is it true that it increases hp throughout the enitre rpm range and not like other intakes that only increase hp at higher rpms?

Hey tonk_ca what year is your LS? I thought there is 3 generations of the LS.Do you have the 3rd gen. LS with the 290hp engine with vvti?

90-94
95-97
98-00

I think those are the years of the 3 models.

it would be the 3rd generation my friend. As of current, I'm running 300 hp but with the srt intake and blitz exhausts (cough loule, cough) i should be running at a gingerly 320 or so..not that i NEED the extra horsepower or anything, but would be nice...anyways my stock tires prevent me from going light speed so guess i gotta wait till next year when my piggy bank fills up=)

OK!!!!!!!!
The stupid exhaust they say had to be made first.
Now it is somewhere between here and Japan floating out in the Pacific.
Hopefully it will be here soon.

I hope the SRT is all everyone saids it will be.
My car kinda is slow now.

epk, not sure what is confusing you but for general information:

The SRT high flow intake system has the following parts.

1) Cone air filter
2) Heat shield assembly
3) Mass Air Flow sensor(MAF) housing
4) MAF to Throttle Body(TB) tube
5) ECU modification

Of the above, numbers 2, 4 and 5 are MODEL specific. One of each must be developed for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen LS400s. Even though SRT offers a system for a GS400, on a 3rd gen LS you would need at the very least a different #2 than the GS uses and probably #5 as well. There is also the matter of removing or relocating stock parts that are replaced or in the way. Model specific development and tuning as well as writing directions.
