I do not believe there will be much gains from this worth the $850 for the regular tC. for boosted tc's, its still pretty much useless as air is being forced in anyways. (i know from experience about this). i did a IM swap on my boosted RSX, gained about 10hp in the topend, but lost 9-10 in the low. this mod benefits the hardcore n/a folks.
to really utilize this, you would need aftermarket cams and a bigger TB and tuning.
install would be _____ too. dont know how one would reach back there. also, why not make a plastic IM gasket to reduce the heat emitting off the aluminum IM to the head? this has shown very effective on Honda's with aluminum IM's. Hondata.com has an example of the intake manifold gasket.

lets say 10-15whp untuned. still worth the $850? the HP/dollar still isnt justified for your average tC owner. granted its a nice piece and well-engineered, but i've seen developments like this crash and burn due to little demand.
most folks are in it just to see the numbers, but few will buy. i'm sure SSC understands this.

The only way I see 28 dollars per hp, are if u are turbo or S/C, IMO. For N/A I see a best gain of maybe 10-15hp. Unless u have a ported head, which would be a + with this.
