He was a full sponsored racer who had been doing it for a long long long time. Said it was time to get out of the game. Its a full time job racing every weekend on top of his full time normal job and his family. Said it was time to focus on other things. He parted the whole car out.
He is most certainly right it is a High Hp intake and it is very tall. The intake is 8 inches without the hat and 14 inches with. The longer runners and equal runner length is why its suppose to not effect the low end like the typical single plane carb style intake. But it also does not come with the typical carb intake price. I bought mine used with hat and rails for $1600.00
Here is a graph of it on a built ls7 na setup. {ENGINE DYNO}

When can we expect to see some numbers? Testing, and pricing? I just picked up a Vic Jr setup, but am always lookingfor something better.
Well, in that graph the Wilson sheet metal seems poor compared to the others. With boost do you think it'll be the same ?
n/a if you fitted a carb intake with a tight elbow to clear your cowling....I'd think it would be pretty crap.
With boost ? I'd say it will still produce excellent results.
I see what you are saying about some areas, and I guess it's hard to argue with that. But intakes need to be tested in the manner they will be used.

Add the magic of a torque converter and it starts to get complicated because the converter stalls different at different power levels. That means that when you get on your tbrake with no boost, the converter has to be loose enough to get up to where you build boost but yet tight enough to where it wont blow thru up top under boost. So the intake/head combo need to be able to make enough torque to get you up on the tbrake/2step to where it will build the boost that you need fast enough to launch when the tree drops. There are ways around this but you start adding layers of complication. Nitrous can be used to get you over the hump and there are mods like variable stall control which regulate the pressure at launch making a tight converter feel loose on the tbrake. That kind of stuff should really only be used to run monster turbos on smallish cubes and not so much to compensate for a poorly pieced together combo.
Shawn! You are killing me! If you have an idea what that intake might cost, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PM me so I can start sacking the money back for it. If it will fit under an f body hood, and it is worth the money, I want to be the first in line to buy buy it.
Just killin me!

I heard the Weiand Street Warrior is coming out
just thought it would be funny to bring that up. I'm still staring out the window waiting for the UPS guy to drop off mine.
