You buy one, send it to me and I'll make a mold of it. Give you a real good deal on your second one...

I think that I would settle for SFR manifold for now.

No question that's the best option for our cars!!! The primary benefits comes from the individual throttles per cylinder. They're almost as big individually as the single throttle-body on the 951. I'm thinking a flat-slide TB would be an easier mechanism to make and you don't have to worry about synchronization either. A single slide with four holes to cover/open all four runners simultaneously... Hmmm.... damn you guys! I've got enough on my plate as it is! <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" />

The Millege intake is trick for sure, and I would be that there's some HP to be found with it.

The problem with installing one on a street car is that you have to remove the oil filler/seperator setup. No FIT!

I've got an intake that I was going to sell, if anybody is interested ... $500 + shipping.

Will bolt on to the 951 head and accepts the 951 TPS.

You will need throttle linkage, and to cut down/re-run oil filler.

Also you would need a vacume resovior for the brakes (common with n/a V8 muscle cars with big cams).


Let me know if you're interested.

I know... but this one is cheaper!

Definetly good for testing to see the effect of a similar design.

just the manifold and the the throttle plates...and the carbon airbox...and you bet your a__ it can cost 4500 bux...he cant build more than a few a year, and the tooling costs for the castings and prepreg work for the carbon are very high.
