Official Richard Holdener who wants to buy an intake manifold list

[dallas]

I think its great that Richard is designing us an intake, sadly I've been on too many forums like Altimas net seen intakes being made by "" pros" tuning on dyno's and in the end the gains are very limited unless you are boosted or pumping a much larger volume of air. Almost always you loose somewhere in the rpm range. You may dyno an extra 5 hp at 6000 rpm but you can end up with less hp under the curve. I would strongly reccomend you get a a/f meter to make sure your not running dangerously lean after doing a full intake system. I like the fact he is trying to offer two differently tuned intakes. Toyota spent a lot of time designing the manifold to be the best compromise of torque hp and drivability. I look forward to seeing some real world dyno's when people get them, on a plus, the bling factor of a tuned custom intake is priceless.

Just let us know when our piece is finished, so we know who/when to pay.
