BTR is no longer a sponsor here for whatever reason.
But they are posting to social media. Take what you want from that. This site still generates a lot of traffic and revenue for them. They could provide more details. Social media is the death of forums... where everyone posts the same god awful questions and the answers are even worse. I, for one, would like to see the forums more active again. It's a better way to disseminate information and provides a much more useful archive of data.

Funny stuff
All you have to do is look at the runner length and it tells the story. It's not a hard concept to grasp
It's either for your intended app or it isnt
There are plenty of long runner manifolds available as is
Kinda laughable though thinking just all out race cars sit 6k+ the entire run
Your typical combo with the 7k shift and 6000rpm on the shift is going to be perfect

I will become a believer, when I see a truly legit street car (not some hulled out race car that's driven on the street) pick up noticeably going from a LS6 intake, to one of these, with all other things staying the same.

Problem with lots of forums, is they can be too big, which makes it harder for people to find what they're looking for, harder to target a market...and then with forums being swamped by lots of complete and utter tripe and repetitive BS questions because people cant be bothered to search....it's always tough.

Stevieturbo: True - but look at the way that curve climbs up top - it's begging for more air
HioSS: The 100hp loss at 4500rpm was with the 102TB ;-) Totally agree that is not important for the serious guys like you - you rpm high enough and gear down enough for none of that to matter. It matters when people try to look like you on their budget builds and think they can run hard on their 6500rpm 6L because it has race intake, then wonder why a stock LS3 blows them away.

I'd prefer to see what it would do vs an MSD or FAST intake. I know, they aren't great intakes for boost (mainly due to cost), but they do pick up a pretty big amount over the LS6 without the nose dive below 6000.
Also, the BTR is positioned as a competitor to like a High-Ram or Pro-Flow. Would be nice to see what it does against them.
I do believe it does a better job with cylinder distribution, but that's a hard thing to measure without individual runner tuning/EGTs.

More even in cylinder filling would be a big plus, however the other big thing here is not whether it can beat the Pro-Flow/Hi-Rams etc but that it can compete and fit under hoods the other 2 cannot.

Although even a FAST at $8-900 isnt a huge expenditure by any means. The only thing puts some off is the talk of them not coping with boost very well. Whether that really is a concern or not I dont know

The 20 intake test already covers most of that, in that they tested both an LS6, and the baseline LS1 intake so the comparisons are already out there for those.

Would the twin TB Edelbrock cross ram fit? That'd add a few ponies, improve throttle response, and pick up a little down low if that mattered

Personally, I would still be interested to see how it competes with the Pro-Flo and Hi-Ram since it sounds like it is a high rpm piece. I know the marketing is towards fitting under stock hoods and cowls, but if there is power potential gains to be had it would be nice to see also for guys like me.
