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.

Thanks for posting this . I've been looking for pictures like this with this design ..

Got any others or different angles of this one? We all know you're the king of pictures ! Hahaha...

It's Jason Digbys Dodge dart That Lyle Barnett drives in Outlaw 275. I'll see if I can dig up some more pics of it for you.

ps Charlie, We did testing on the "Slot" on a Audi Manifold designed in production with the slot.
The Audi intake was adapted to our 4 cylinder engine. Mixed results (if it did anything better, it did not show up on the dyno) vs the simple "bottom feed bounce off the roof" design by Mahovitz.
