Nothing wrong with unveiling a product before its release. We're talking about it aren't we? How many people will find out about it through conversations like this one? They're building hype, and it will sell very well when they release it. A couple months is not a long time...

I am very disappointed with the information (or lack of) I was able to find at the PRI show.
I spoke with the guys at MSD/Atomic, one of which was suppose to have been involved in the development of the intake (guy on the right in the pictures). They couldn't tell me anything. I asked about the RPM range and how it would perform on a larger cubic (454) inch motor. They just kept pointing at the dyno graph they have posted in their ads. They finally told me to go talk to the people at Lingenfelter. That doesn't speak well if the designer/manufacturer tells you to talk to someone else.
I spoke with the guys at Lingenfelter. They said they tested a prototype and did know if the production model would perform the same. They said they had run it on 454's but didn't have any specific information on how it worked.
All I all NOT GOOD!

Verdad Gallardo If I where you I would wait for for some actual numbers to come out before you make your judgement. Just because some random guy on the Internet is unhappy with the lack of knowledge on the product doesn't mean it won't preform well.
