Driven Innovations Intake Manifold "Black Magic!"

Let me take a minute to THANK TOM@ Driven Innovations for all his help and time he spent with me. After allot of debate and talking with various shops on what intake manifold would work best for my project i called Tom @ Driven Innovations to get the ball rolling.

Tom took the time to sit down and talk to me about what my goals were, what parts i was going to use and what would work best. After some testing and talking back and forth we decided on a custom design. The attention to detail that he puts in his work is Amazing without a doubt! He even offers a way to adapt the stock IAC valve to his manifolds and throttle bodies something you dont see from competitors.


THANKS AGAIN TOM FOR EVERYTHING!
Chris

Thanks guys! I told Tom i wanted direct port meth setup and he did the rest. He actually angled each bung at a certain degree "have to ask him" to work the best. We are going to start out with 25gph and see how she reacts and go up from there.

I would rather have that "N" word running through those lines.

I have the big "N" also but original plan was just a small shot if needed to spool the turbo but might not be needed anymore. Amway with a small shot there was no need for the direct port IMO.

On the other hand a 300shot would be fun...lol...

I love the flat black. I got sick of all the pollished look so everything this time will be flat black.

Thanks for the compliment! How is yours doing?

Tom has the BBK and Hypertune TB's now. This i believe was one of the last Wilson TB's he had.

A trunk monkey maybe, LOL.
I really like how he leaves provisions to adapt the stock IAC motor with larger thorttle bodies. This is a plus in my book as it was why I went back to the stock TB over the 75mm BBK. I may have to swap to one of these.

that's one helluva manifold you got there! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship! I'm curious as to how much better this direct port meth setup will work compared to the traditional pre-TB placement. Which meth system will you be using?
