Here is the comment from the fellow who tested the intake on his N/A 2V:

I was the N/A guinnea pig today. Not as good of results. We only gained about 7 peak horsepower and lost tons of torque in the powerband. The short runners just don't generate enough velocity without a blower. keep in mind that the blown car gained 55 hp over a Bullit intake. Just imagine what you'll get if you have a blower with a stock intake and you swap it out for one of these. THIS thing ROCKS with a blower.

So...how many GP commitments do we still have at $1400 [Roll Eyes]

they knew they were not going to see too big of gains on this intake as it sits on a N/A application as they did on a blown car. That is why they are making a smaller version, and changing the runner length and a few other things to increase velocity to make it see more mid-range power for those do not have full race set-ups or blowers.
So...how many GP commitments do we still have at $1400, which is not even a correct price "if" there was a GP. [Roll Eyes]

Chuck are you going to buy this new NA version of the intake without seeing dyno numbers on a NA car. If so I will gladly make a intake for you and sell it to you for half the price [Wink]

yea I noticed that the dynoe even on blown motor did gaim HP but over all it lost 25# torq hmm I think they need to up make the runners bigger to try to get more velocity and gain torq

you only charge $60 an hour for tech support and R&D right? LOL [Wink] I talked to Reichard Racing today and they seem to know what they're doing with this intake.

I hope they expand the runers to make more torq on both n/a and S/C

LOL

chuck i will bet 1 paycheck that the car runs at least 1 tenth slower with the intake.that is like slapping a hogan intake on a stock 5.0 you may see a few peak hosrepower but it will suck drivin it around town.
