I am interested by the product as well. But I would like to see consistency in the results before I spend the money.

In the second dyno its showing max gain which happens to be at that rpm and specific place in the tq curve. Its still the same run as the first one.

OKkkkk! Now I realize that the graph is the same, only the index changes: the first comparaison was taken at 4437 rpm and the second one at 5021.

Thanks for pointing that out to me! It makes me like the product even more.

BTW, will the installation require new seal/gasket/spacer and if so will a thicker aftermarket one be useful or useless?
Also, being all metal instead of ceramic like the OEM, will it be more sensitive to heat...soak?

Anyone's input is apreciated, as I am not a mechanic!!!

Well when we installed it we used the same gasket from the manifold to the head and the TB gasket is just a ruber seal which can be used again as well. Install should take about 45min

sounds really throaty!! I LIKE!!
Now can you explain to me what the HP AND TORQUE gains would be without the SW intake......for those of us who have another brand intake.
I'm figuring the gains will be very similar but you never know.

Yes. I have this question that remained unanswered: Will this manifold, being all metal rather than ceramic like the OEM, will be influenced by the engine bay heat?

It will take in some heat but the manifold will cool just as fast as it heats up. It got to be about the same temp as the cast lower piece you have now.
