Uh, how is that possible.. Id say your burning a hole when you spend upwards 30k like myself and others on here.. Not 1k.. That is more like a scratch on your Wilson's leather wallet..

The hype was not generated by us. If you look at the beginning of the thread, we were reluctant to even do the pre-orders on them. All I can offer is the gains that Cosworth revealed during testing.

Personally, even if the gains are on par with spacers, this thing looks incredible, and really opens up the engine bay. Whether or not its worth $999is up to you guys....but so far....26 people seem to think so.

I wonder if someone made a carbon fiber windshield, if people would buy it.

look forward to seeing some sort of legit benchmarks with this manifold though

yeah and it runs fine on my car and cost me $690 at the time, not $1000

not like there's a massive difference between plenums anyway. Some tuners haven't noticed much difference at all. At least the SSV weighs 10 lbs less than stock. I doubt the cosworth weighs all that different than stock, but we'll see what power it makes.

What'll people think if the cosworth is equal to a $200 spacer???

A manifold is either built for high rpms, or low/mid rpms unless it's one of the variable ones that have shown up in some exotic cars

I believe that is the pre-order price. You take the chance of it going up or down after that after the first ones go out.

Very soon! maybe next week!

I hope with the GTM reflash bumping the rev limter to 9k, when I shift @ 7100 the throtle body doesnt close and the power drop @ 6500 isnt to bad, and with this plenum, I am praying power all the way up!

There's all sorts of possibilities with the end cap configurations. I am looking forward to the initial testing on this but I have a feeling further fine tuning for specific applications will be possible down the road...
