And there's a complete writeup and detailing on the buildup. Not to mention the intake calculator he's built into his site, nice stuff indeed. GO check it out. :d

I know it looks good but the "air" would have to make 90 degree turns, therefore slowing the air speed (velocity). As a result killing the power down low. It would take a 400ci+ motor and 10k rpm shifts to make that deal work. But it does look good, just not a street intake.

Eh, just looking at it, they aren't quite 90deg, and it's really no worse than some of the almost 180-deg bends found in some modern intakes. What that reminds me of most are those old tunnel-ram intakes, which it could emulate if done right. He says he's gonna post dyno numbers to see if it works. :d

looks like something you would expect to see on a Road Warrior vehicle. :cool:

he could of atleast made the intake ports a little smoother with a stone. looks like he just went hacking with an acetylene torch. also i probably would have chosen a better welding process, although i guess it works. looks like he used maybe a wire feed flux core welder. i would have gone tig, tig doesnt heat the surrounding metal as much, thus less warpage.

Read the site. he's planning on cleaning it up.
