Sorry, I don't have the spec's on the engine but I have been told those are the smaller turbo's.

I also know the X-ram design intake has made more power than any other manifold he tested...


Also look at where the max Torque is on that set up... Should be interesting on a road course..

I skimed through the Video and he mentions Tuned by Tad, also looks like HPT software. I have never heard of the guy doing the tuning.

I would like to see what it does in the car with someone else tuning it.

Yea I'm sure we will see the engine installed in the car but not much after that besides some burnouts. Would be cool to see the car on the chassis dyno and some 1/4 mile runs. Is there a vid where he tests the manifold vs others on the market? There really isn't anything else out there to test it against is there?

I know it was tested against the edelbrock pro flow and the holley high ram.

I know he has a bench mule engine that he flogs the **** out of. He said he was able to get more power with that manifold design.

My guess would be that its feeding the banks more efficiently Vs. a traditional intake.

So he ran the other intakes with an A2W intercooler in front of them? Any dyno comparisons or is this all just word of mouth? How much does the intake sell for?

Sorry for all the questions You just can't find any info on his products anywhere.

I know he did a bunch of Dyno testing, But not sure if it was with A2W in front.

He didn't post the result online if thats what your asking. It was a conversation I Had as I wanted to use a Holley High ram for a build.

My understanding is they used 1 motor and tried several different intakes for testing. I believe they even changed cams to test different RPM ranges and efficiency.

Well i will be the retard. I was impressed by the motor. That size motor pulling that much vacuum at idle and the low rpm. I thought that was cool. I am not a fan of the intake thou. Kinda ugly looking. Looks like it belongs on a lambo or something.
