do you have some testing and HP and TQ gains to back up your claim of being better then stock?
The reason I ask is there have been a lot of people that claim to make one better and then never produce it....
Tired of getting our hopes smashed after some sweet teaser pics

^ i agree. numbers (ideally on a totally stock, I/E, I/H/E. S/C, and turbo, though that many comparisons may not be realistic) and price could really propel this to groundbreaking status

1. The plenum is 40% larger than stock.
2. We put in 54mm velocity stacks inside the manifold..
3. Runners are larger than stock.
4. Its not plastic like the stock one.
5. Will not crack for turbo or Super Charged people who Boost Hard.
6. We have a V-shaped plenum to enhance the flow to the velocity stacks.
Stock one doesnt have Velocity stack.
Stock one has Pee Pee Ports..
Also when i was in Malaysia at the Sepang Race last year, working for Formula Racing Development on the F3 Formula Renaults where i was developing Parts for the Next Gen Formula Renaults i studied intake manifold dynamics and Header Design.
I was in Asia all of last year on this race team..
See the Carbon Fiber / Aluminum Manifold on the renaults... We re-worked that one for this years Formula Renaults. Header is also re-vamped to make another 15HP more..

has anyone cracked an OEM intake manifold yet???
I like the look and desgin of it, but I know it will be around $800+ for a new intake manifiold. If it only yields 5-15 hp, is it really worth it if I am not time attacking/drag racing every weekend???

if people are just looking to squeeze every possible HP out of their engine without professional sponsorship, if they have the $$ it'd be 'worth it'
for a DD that you want to say has "XXX HP" but cant afford to go F/I, id say... probably not.
my $0.02
