Thumbs up new stuff





"Wilson Manifolds has applied the same technology used in our one-off custom designed billet bank sheet metal racing manifolds to our new line of Limited Production Billet Bank Sheet Metal Manifolds. By producing these select manifolds on a limited production basis, we are able to provide a much more affordable manifold that fits the most popular cylinder heads and produces excellent overall performance in many high performance and racing applications, particularly with larger displacement and/or high RPM engines. They also look great on street rods and show cars and are designed to fit under stock hoods. These manifolds are ready to bolt on out of the box and are designed to accept Wilson Manifolds high flow throttle bodies and ultra high flow fuel rails as well as Nitrous Pro Flow direct port nitrous systems and manifold pressure relief valves.These designs were developed using our state of the art solid modeling software, and each manifold's cylinder banks (flanges and runners with integral injector bosses, stanchions, and direct port nozzle bosses) are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum on our simultaneous 5-axis CNC machining center. Each manifold is then precision fixtured and heli-arc welded for a perfect fit and maximum structural integrity. This production method allows for optimum runner to runner and manifold to manifold consistency in terms of both geometry and performance."

Pretty !!!

I can only imagine the cost of that thing though, and if you think a FAST manifold is gonna hurt torque production take a look at the runner length on the Wilson piece...with those short little runners it'll be a dog in the lower RPM's but ought to breath like a single-plane carb'd intake up high

Keep hearing 420ci+ and very high RPM.
As far as price, $3000 is what I read.
Don't quote me... I could just be passing on pre-production rumors.

Holy Moses !!!
That's alot of coin for an intake manifold !!!!

I bet with the right cam it'd flow enough to get a 427 to 7500rpm's NA though !!!

Kept reading about 'reasonably priced' and I'm thinking, man I'm strapping this bitch on and turning 8000rpm...

... yeah, reasonably priced for real racers.

Saw this item on display at the PRI show. Very impressive to look at. The base and flange section are machined from billet. Still waiting to see performance results. The design is similar to one I was kicking around some time ago. It was neat to see it finished in such a professional way. Wilson is definitely one of the best in the biz.

Those runners look a little longer than the other sheetmetal minifolds that are out now. Looks like a nice piece.
