I agree with everything you're saying, but considering I am pulling timing in the sub 4000rpm range to help with traction on the street, having a little less in that range isn't a huge concern to me.

I agree about the price being high for an 'appearance' item, and it's certainly not the #1 thing on my list, but the price is better than all of the other fabricated or billet manifolds out there. So if I swap out my MSD intake, it would be for this one.

are you running enough boost to keep you away from the 450 ebay sheet metal intake?

Shoot, at that boost, for a little over 10% of the Frank, I'd try the Ebay, but this thread is about a work of art so I'll leave it alone.
