NEWSFLASH
$1500 isn't even going to come close to supporting a 1100-1200 hp engine with a single 4 cast intake. Truth is theres a ton of time in this. I'm fortunate in that john and i are friends and he didn't charge me too much extra for me to "help". I have more time in mine than i thought it would take him. And he had a bunch more time in it than me.
You're looking at $4000 maybe more either way cast or sheet. Its what it is.
If you put a $1500 ported victor on my engine I suspect you would watch 150-200 hp disappear.
And no its not all cut into a hundred peices and welded back together......lol.

It's interesting the responses you get when you try to sell the $3000 intake for $1000-1500. People seem to focus on the heads and think a port matched intake is all that's needed.
