PS the reproduction intake manifold quality concerns have been beat to heck on this Website. Thousands have been sold and very few returned. Looking at it from almost every angle, the availability of that manifold was a huge win.... Like it or not.
Maybe we can go back to harping about the 041 cam, the IA1 blocks or the Butler wide-ports; the days a nine second Pontiac was unheard of and staying in front of a 5.0 Mustang was an accomplishment.
I also find it interesting that a pretty pricey intake manifold was brought to market recently that appears to have fuel distribution issues. Not a lot of complaints about that one.... I guess if one pays a lot of money for a poorly functioning intake manifold it's best to pretend it's great
Rant over and thanks for listening
