John were you quoting me?

Yes I know data that shows what is not working, and feeling is that tapered runners are needed to keep up the velocity.

Problem with a lot of sheetmetal intakes is that you end up paying a lot of money for a gain of like 8-15rwhp at the PEAK.

I was talking to another intake manufacturer and he's testing an intake soon, he might send me one and I might try it for him and then send it back so he can mold it.

I just visited their shop in Charlotte and was VERY VERY impressed. Also got a chance to see the sheet metal intake sitting on top of a c5r block that they are about to drop into a black ss from New Jersey. 700HP!
