I think most of the HP in the Renesis is coming from the intake manifold design. If you put a "log" intake, you won't get the big HP that the stock tuned intake delivers.

Hi Bill,
my understanding of the Renesis intake manifold design is to boost the low speed torque to enhance drivability in the car. At 240 HP, the manifold is presenting 'tuned length' for 8000 + rpm.
 If the "log" has tuned length intake runners for 8000+, then it will also make 240 HP.
FWIW, Dave McC
