Christmas in June! (pics inside)

If there came a point in which this manifold was not fitting or it was being a pain, I would look in that direction, but for now, I believe it's going to be the best thing for this application.
Guys, the pics still work for me. Not sure why you can't see them????

I'm interested to see how this car drives with that intake. Has anybody ever driven a car on the street with ITBs? I haven't. Tip-in has got to be atrocious.

Great set-up, I'm sure you will be very pleased. Let me know what the tip-in will be like and please do everyone a favor, put some braided fuel lines on that 4000 dollar intake.

Are all these parts in your kitchen? Looks like someone knows where to spend his money. My wife thinks otherwise though. 
Looks like a killer setup in the making. Very jelous here.

Have you found filters yet? Couldn't you just use eight individual motorcycle air filters like those offered by K&N and such?

That was the plan, individual filters, but, I'm gunna see what it looks like when it gets in the car. If there is room to make a box, I'm gunna try it in order to keep the power band from being "2 strokeish".

I hate to say this but go look at some of the high hp honda guys that stay n/a. They have ITBs and love em. Some just run them without filters and some put small K&Ns on them and have no problems. I've ridden in and drove my buddies S2K that has ITBs on it and the sound was wicked cool and the power was outrageous to before. The powerband just was unbelieveable.

You might be able to get an oval filter setup to work, like they use on sprint cars. That would give you plenty of "dead-air" volume in the filter I would think. A baseplate for the filter could be easily whipped up too.
