The thing is steve, NO ONE is making anything like this. When you look at the process they're taking these things through, it is unlike anything everyone else is doing. I thought I posted this earlier, but its produced by Wilson Manifolds, not Buschur. Check out their www site for some freaking insane credentials (and prices, CNC'd intake manifolds are nuts!).
Anyways, they actually cut the whole stock manifold in half, shorten and flow-balance all of the runners, and somehow machine the inside of the plenum to increase its volume. Then they weld it back together and shot-peen the whole thing so you cannot tell it was ever apart. If they mounted the WM logo in a different spot, this would be an uber sleeper/stock appearing setup. Besides that, think about how much stuff you have to do when you install a typical SMIM: figure out a new TB, ISC, UICP, coilpack (on dsm's), various sensors, etc. This eliminates all of that.

I doubt it. This guy that has been developing race engines for ever (he's an old guy....older than steve hill!) approached Buschur after he had done those tests and told him that all of the manifolds he had tested were junk, and he could produce one that would kill all of them.
