Not saying to use a BR ported mani, but basically ported stock mani/TB ftw.
I bought my BR Ported IM for $75 and BR 64mm TB for ~$300 in October of 2008 and the price has since risen to $150 for the IM and stayed at $300 for the TB. I know the price is not that much more, but something about a basic $75 port job like mil.spec is selling now just makes me smile.

Mike and Shane (dunno if you wanna be grouped together but too bad!) are really right and overall for most people a nice basic ported IM and TB combo are enough for most people.

I am still intrigued by the boomba b/c its bigger and more shiny but their lack of response when I ask for info is extremely bothersome. A stock TB is really more universal and simple and probably enough. Next we should talk about intake manifolds
