ITM (gauging interest)
There has been allot of talk lately of pairing ITM to the VE motors. How many would be interested in purchasing 1 and at what price?? I ask because the shop Mamsparts.com - Mamsparts.com where my car is designing 1 for the RWD for boost. Would any N/A or boosted VE guys beinterested in 1. What would you be looking for in the product???

You see how hard it was for Charles to get his headers sold. What did that rwd one they made look like?

Oh yeah for got to mention, a flow test will be done with a SR16 ITM versus what they have here. Will these # mean something to us????

Slow 96R,

The Ross Machine Racing parts are very good parts and I have used them before. The oval extruded tubing and velocity stacks work well on stock to mildly modified motors but they will start to restrict air flow on higher flowing heads.

I know snickers has in the past made a few intake manifolds with these parts, and then changed suppliers but I would have to check with him on that to be sure.

The Flow number of the intake manifold itself is not completely useful as it can be somewhat deceiving. The intake manifold alters the flow characteristics of the cylinder head because it directs the flow of the air into and through the port.

The manifold you have pictured in your Photobucket account is a nicely fabricated piece. I do have one piece of advice though. It appears that the intake runners are perpendicular to the intake manifold flange. The runners should be at the same included angle as the intake ports are in the head to keep the direction of the intake flow continuous without having to suddenly change directions. If you flowed the intake manifold on the cylinder head where the air had to suddenly change direction turning into the intake port, no matter how slightly, you will have a slight loss in velocity, pressure, and lose flow as well.

Snickers has a flow bench if you need it flowed vs another intake manifold.

Price range $500-$700, personally. Dyno #'s. I don't think people are willing to spend the $$$ unless the part has proven itself. I'm sure turbo would have good gains. But, is it worth it for an NA motor???

i think theres serious gains to be made with a good manifold in an n/a application, provided the other supporting systems (header, cams etc) are all in place

This is what I'm hoping. I'm trying to find a way that fits my budget for them to put something together for a FWD application for me. Not sure if Ima be able to do that or not
