Saw LSXtv.com post this link today. http://www.lsxtv.com/features/pri-co...take-manifold/

old news. and IIRC they say it's a PITA to tune. but the main thing is the price. it's like $3k + and really doesn't give you an edge over the FAST. it would be money better spent on other things. i say it's more of a conversation peice than anything. kinda like fake ****, doesn't really do anything for you, it's just fun to look at and talk about.

I saw it earlier on street legal tv, looks amazing but I think it's better suited on $100,000 street rod that gets pushed into the shows

I think more and more shops have learned how to tune these intakes.

I love the way they look, and they allow the engine to handle much larger cams than you usually are able to and get them to idle at or even below what the idle was from the factory.

If the price came down to the $2000-$2500 range, more people would consider them.

That intake shows huge gains on all out stroker combos. I believe I read somewhere that it gained over 30 on a stroker over a FAST 92

I didn't realize it was old news, just figured it would make for good conversation. It reminded me of a C6R intake. Didn't know if that style intake offered any specific advantages over what we commonly use or what type of applications it's suited for.
