I love how DI is all fired up to be tested!
Force-Fed... no offense but, you have 200 posts and I don't recall you being a shop that posts a lot of comparisons. I think Ivey or GST or any vendor that has been around a long time, people have a ton of respect for, and we know will do the right thing is the right choice.
To me Ivey's rep on this board is impeccable and his colleagues seem to hold him in high esteem. I cannot believe Ivey would post saying AMS's intake was better knowing full well it wasn't what was best for Sharkbite's car.
Anyway we just need Ivey or GST or whomever to actually say they'll do it then maybe the vendors of each manifold can decide if the tester is ok.

I am surprised we don't have shops jumping at the oppurtunity to run a high profile test of this nature. It seems like great PR to be able to show off your expertise to prospective customers on EvoM.
Maybe a shop is afraid that if they conduct a test like this they will damage relationships with vendors if they don't end up rating the vendors product highly? I would hope that wouldn't happen though because I think the attitude shops should have is, that if they don't do well, the sooner they know about the shortcomings of their product the better, and the sooner they can get to improving that product.

As far as I know buschur doesn't even know about this test as I volunteered my Buschur intake because I feel it will rank in the top and curious to see if this is the case. I honestly think these manifolds will be close as they share many of the same designs and concepts.

So we have to cast and three SS.... Very interesting!!!
What about this?
After developing a modified cast intake that can run with any sheetmetal intake available, we thought it was time to release our billet intake to the community to show what Wilson Manifolds can do when not restricted to the OEM casting. These can be configured to specific runner legnth, TB size, Nitrous, and are constructed from 100% billet aluminum. If you are looking for the ultimate speed weapon this is it! A no BS, hard core, purpose built intake manifold for the Evolution. List price is 2345.87, but we are offering special pricing for the first ten orders. Four were sold yesterday, so only six are available at this discounted price. Contact 9sec9.com for this offer.

Oh man lets get this Going. Ivey is perfect shop to conduct this test and Sharkbite's Evo is aperfect Test monkey. This would be perfect I’m in the Market for Either BR, DI, AMS, Magnus V5 to complete my setup for E85 or C16 Map.
Sharkbites car would be a good candidate but the best way to do it would be to not test these with the boost maxed out on race gas. Shark's car on race gas has the turbo pushed to just about its limits. If a turbo is at or near its limits then gains might not be as severe with the manifolds as the turbo is running out of steam.
The best way to do it would be test his car at a boost level that the turbo is well inside its efficiency range. Also boost would need to be consistent across all manifolds. To properly do this you would need to sample boost at the turbo. if you sample at the manifolds boost can be slightly off based on how the MAP sensor is reading boost from that specific spot on the manifold.
If you perform the test with that set of criteria in mind and log it properly it should be a pretty straight forward test.
I will say it will be a great deal of work.

Also lets keep in mind if the Designated Shop will have the time to perform this test. Time is $$$ Nonetheless Great manifold's done buy respected company’s this would be a great test.
