One of the absolute best Center feed Intake manifolds ever designed. Wally Beaber did this design. Air comes in, bangs off the wall and perfect distribution to the 8 runners.
Same would apply to a 4 cylinder (or 8 cylinder) "Bottom Feed" intake feeding 4 (or 8) cylinders.
John Mahovitz was not stupid and neither was Wally Beaber. The Audi Slot never showed any real gain over the side feed and bottom feed design, if anything it was worse as the slot width dimension and length was critical to get even close to the Beaber manifold.
