Default Nice...

Very nice but not practical for street. At least this will eliminate the leaning out of the forward cylinder banks unlike our stock intake manifold.

Isn't that what they usually refer to as a "six pack"?

The individual throttle bodies are cool and all, but I don't see what this will getyou other than eaqual air to all cyliders due to high adjustability of the individual butterfly valves. Is there a box that fits over this? If not, then it is pulling in hot unfiltered air. If there is a cover, it likely wouldn't fit under the hood and would have to be properly designed for equal air pressure under the entire thing for the piece to do it's job.

well. . . . not quite

it usually referred to a specific carburation setup like 3 dueces (3 two barrel carbs on the manifold)
