Wasn't looking for this, but Google put it in front of me. Talk about a blast from the past. You would think after becoming HOT vaporware that someone would be smart enough to delete the page.

Maybe they can re-release it just in time for the 10th anniversary of nothing.

Re: You would think they'd take it down...

The funny part is they could probably sell a few of the base manifolds. Might be further ahead to offer runners that work with the stock plenum, or just use a less complicated plenum. But really the hot deal right now and probably in the foreseeable future is LS based engines, and it's probably going to stay that way. It'd be silly to put R&D into something like this, and the price would have to be pretty low to compete. That they'd be the only game in town for NEW tpi intakes might give them enough of a kick to make it profitable... Maybe... But probably not.
