Anybody using this intake?

Well, the intended use is primarily street with occasional track days. I won't be twisting the motor much over 5500 rpm. My thinking is that these motors have plenty of low end for the street, and a manifold like this might help out in the mid-range where you can actually use the power exiting a medium speed corner.

I suppose I should run this by KC and get his take on it and find out what he's seen on the dyno. I will be using Edelbrock heads, so if it requires extensive machine work, that might be a considerable expense. It's going to bad enough as it is!

Thanks for you input guys.

Coupla little problems with single-plane manifolds. 1) The idle is going to be inconsistant - it doesn't settle immediately in at 850 RPM's. It kinda wanders done for a few seconds, then settles in nicely. 2) They are all cold-blooded by design because they don't get heated by anything nearby. You need to brake left-footed in order to keep the engine lit until it warms up a bit.

If you can love with these little peccadillos, they can add 40-75 HP depending on the rest of the rngine. I got about 75 peak HP at 5,000 RPM's over the Performer RPM. Plus I love the look.
