Wilson makes FAST intakes as well. So it is a broad spectrum.

Is it the sheet metal intake? If so you wont find too many people running it except for on retardedly high horsepower motors that are pretty much strip only. Heat soak is a bit of a factor with it when running on the street.

i would love to know how well they work because it seems the runners would block a lot of air from traveling to the back.

they havent finalized them yet,maybe in a few weeks.they still dont know what the flow numbers will be as far as the runners go.and they said its not really like a sheet metal intake as far as flow goes,not as much room.so there you have it,no flow numbers,small intake volume,and the runners do get in the way of intake path flow.how much?just pay em 3000.00 and find out.do we have any guinea pigs that want to find out?not me.

You can buy a completely custom Beck manifold with a plumbed direct port setup for less than that!
