MSD Performance officially entered the air/fuel market today with the announcement of its Atomic AirForce Intake Manifold.
The intake manifold – the first ever sold by MSD – was unveiled this afternoon at a press conference at the SEMA Show.
MSD claims proven gains of more than 20 horsepower when bolted on a stock application. The Atomic Air Force showed even larger gains when dyno tested on the Lingenfelter LS7 Camaro L28 (36 horsepower at the rear wheels and 16 ft-lbs torque).
MSD President Russell Stephens said the company has worked hard to straighten the runners out. “We wanted to make airflow on the top of the runner equal to airflow on the bottom of the runner. The bell-mouth has been opened up to maximize airflow through the intake manifold.”
Nitrous ports were added to the design, and “the two-piece intake design provides the ability to port and modify runners for specific applications,” according to MSD’s press release.
The throttle bore accepts the OEM throttle body as well as aftermarket designs up to 103mm.
MSD says the Atomic AirForce will be available in January for the LS7 (2014 Camaro, 2006-13 Corvette Z06), LS1, LS2, and LS6 platforms, and LS33/L99 platforms.
It will be available next Spring for the LT1 (2014-15 Corvette).

I saw this intake at SEMA, I was asking questions about the comparison product. I think they thought I work for FAST. They answered my questions but looked suspicious. Great times. I was hoping for a lower price but its a plus to use the stock rails, thats about $200..

I am very disappointed with the information (or lack of) I was able to find at the PRI show.
I spoke with the guys at MSD/Atomic, one of which was suppose to have been involved in the development of the intake. They couldn't tell me anything. I asked about the RPM range and how it would perform on a larger cubic (454) inch motor. They just kept pointing at the dyno graph they have posted in their ads. They finally told me to go talk to the people at Lingenfelter. That doesn't speak well if the designer/manufacturer tells you to talk to someone else.
I spoke with the guys at Lingenfelter. They said they tested a prototype and did know if the production model would perform the same. They said they had run it on 454's but didn't have any specific information on how it worked.
All I all NOT GOOD!

sorry to bump an ancient thread but anyone run this thing reliably on some decent boost? I don't see any good dynos from stock style intake to this on >700whp boosted setups and curious if anyone ran that test yet?
