Wow, it has 'long' runners. I thought the whole point of the sheet metal intakes was short runners to increase air flow at high RPMs?

Yes but there is a point it is too short. That is the big problem with some Sheetmetal intakes they only work with forced induction because you can not get enough runner length.

Do not need boost to use an intake like this it will work on an all out large qube motor. This intake is going on a ERL block 443" engine with ET performance LS7 heads Built by F-R-E, shooting for 700 HP on pump gas... Dyno graph will follow. We carry alot of his billet parts. Like LS2 valley covers valve covers and manual tensioner pulleys.
