Stock Intake Mods
You got that right 9sec9. If this intake works as Indy thinks it will it will have by far the best overall HP/TQ curve of any intake manifold we have tested and could quite possibly have the best top end too.
Can you see our GT42R black car running a stock appearing intake manifold?! haha

Thanks David, VWJeff, and 9sec9 for your support. This is just a rough test mule to gain info for the next generation of manifolds and is based on 9sec9's Baby Bish engine combo. This is still a work in progress. Thanks all, and we hope to have results soon. Indy

When you see and hear what has been done, you'll understand why we're in amazement. It has nothing to do with being cool. It's not even possible for me to be cool. What IS cool is his ability and his insight. I am not at leisure to discuss WHAT I've seen. It's not my product, idea, time, work, or anything. I've just felt compelled to give credit where credit is due. Sorry if it appears otherwise. I think you'll see why we're so excited, in the near future.
But if ANYBODY else made a thread like this, oh man! There would be some serious shop slandering going on by some of those currently involved in this (possible) hype for making huge claims with no factual data.
Know what I mean?
I completely understand. On the other hand, I think that any shop, regardless of who it is, should be able to make enthusiastic posts without being shot by another vendor. This allows for ideas among the average posters to flow and be formulated. Imagine if an idea is shot down before complete development, how that could influence the continuance of the developement. In the final outcome, the posts must live or die based on the FINAL results, not the early enthusiasm. There is a difference between educated enthusiasm and hype. I don't think that this would even remotely fall into the hype category.
03whitegsr, your response is very well meaning and well taken. I think as more of us learn about IndyEvo's abilities and connections, we're all going to be thankful for having another EVO parts developer among us.

One final thought, sorry for the back to back posts, I'm bad about that. If we see even a reasonable gain from what has been done, it has been well worth the learning process. What we have known and done to stock manifolds in the past will have moved forward to at least a higher level. What is standard for today could become so-so for tomorrow. Moving forward is the goal.

I'll fully agree that Indy Evo likely packs with him a ton of knowledge, but even more importantly, ambition to succeed. In the brief time he's been here, he's brought with him several "new" innovations to the EVO. His continued involvement can take EVOs no where but up.
Actually, sorry to derail this topic even further, but Indy Evo, who are you? I thought I had seen some references to some import racing teams as well as more professional levels of racing? I can take this to PMs if preferred, but I would imagine a few others may be interested in his backgorund as well.
edited... I will re-post photos once we are finished with the test... As stated before when I first started building parts for myself, David Buschur was the only one who did not blow me off like some of the other companies on EvoM did. He actually helped me get up to speed on these cars, told me his opinions, and yes we disagree at times, but it makes for some out of the box thinking that has spawned components like this and more that will be built soon. I wish not to get involved with the drama of this shop is better than that one, East vs. Central vs. West, and look at the consistancy and results produced in each shop. There is a place for everyone here. This started off as a hobby just building parts for myself and has become much more than I expected. Thank you David for your friendship, mutual respect, and taking the time to test this manifold and the other components I have made. Indy
I get caught up in all that shop BS just because I get sick of all the politics that go on in this hobby.
indy, don't mention it. Working with you has been very rewarding. A guy like me doesn't get chances to meet people like you that often, not that are willing to work with a small shop anyway. I appreciate your help, input, innovation.
Looking forward to meeting you today!!

Yeah IndyEvo, who the hell are you? I've never met him, never talked to him, never seen a picture of him. In this case, a man is known by his accomplishments. Those accomplishments in such a short time speak volumes about the man. IndyEvo, see if you can DBurr DB while you're there.
