I would not call it bashing when you state your experience with the product. You're stating facts. Holley should be glad someone is pinpointing the negatives for them. They should seriously work on improving their production. Then, I will be glad to buy it.
How about rectangular port LS3 Holley intake? Do you know if it has the same ports issue.

I have read it in this very forum, same issues. Guys still bolt it on. My thought on that is simply a lack of cost effective solutions. The Edelbrock just looks weird. Fabricated tunnel rams are way too expensive. That leaves the Holley. I have been researching casting costs for my design. To me there is a market wide open for a low cost ram intake. CNC'ed everything is expensive and cast is the way to go for some of the components. Pretty serious. I need my machine shop to make me more seed money.
"They have had alignment issues in the past and had to be worked to make them line up. "
Not sure if this is already resolved on newer intakes or not. Can anyone confirm?

Did you make the carbon fiber hat as well? If so, is there a rolled lip or edge on it to hold a coupler?
How many layers of fiber? How thick is it and do you think there is any issue with holding boost?
