If something new were going to come out for the OHV what would the guys who are interested in performance be looking for. A 4 barrel carb manifold or a lower pro file upper plenum to go along with a ported OEM lower intake to get the RPM potential of the engine up..

Please answer honestly something could come from it.
 
If you are straight up going with a carb intake I don't think you would be really getting all the power you can (if you get any at all)

If you go to one that basically just as a throttlebody in place of a carb but still has injectors in the intake you might gain something... something like this:


But I wouldn't be surprised of a more optimized OE style intake would perform better.

@PetroleumJunkie412 has done more with different 2.9 intakes, IIRC the dual TB Scorpio intake performs better than the NA 2.9 truck intake.
