Default Intake Manifold Question

I am building a new Dart block for my TA. And I have a few questions on which manifold to go with. On my previous setup I ran a Vic Jr. with an elbow and it did great. I ran it all the way to 22lbs of boost and about 1100rwhp. Right now I am building a motor that will be able to do close to 1800rwhp.

I have been doing a good amount of research on this subject and so far can't find any good answers. I know I can pay 3k and get a CFE or a Marcello intake but is there any other solutions out there that are actually decently priced and work well? And yes I have searched the site.

Has anyone see this one before?

Precision Metalcraft sheetmetal. Awesome piece, a little over 2k, and top notch customer service.

If your cowl is cut and wipers or no issue I would look at the mast or all pro intake with a berry elbow

That is the issue. I do not want to cut into the hood and the wiper area. I know the Mast intake with the elbow will be sitting real high.

I'm strongly thinking about it but don't know how well it will perform. I'm trying to do some research on it but can't really find anything.

Buy it, cut it open, insert some proper trumpets and rebuild with a larger plenum on top ?

This! I have one on my car and it is an awsome piece no hacking needed to make it right. They make one that will fit under your cowl no hacking there either.

P.S. The one in the link above is a cheap *** copy of mine and remember the old saying you get what you pay for well it holds true for an intake on a FI application...
