Steve;
We also took a look at the stock manifold, as well as Tracy and a few others, and we found it to just not work in our installation, for a lot o reasons, mostly weight, and clearances.  In these early pictures, you see what we ended up with, and we are excited about it.  Costs, around $1500 in aluminum and welding, many hours of brainstorming, and dyno time coming up.  We will send some charts on performance when we have them.  Luckily the shop we are working with, has flow benches, and testing equipment, so we can make final tweaks on the dyno, not in the air......healthier that way.....(:-)

Steve,

I have seen it done, but only on a turbo-charged installation.  You typically want 18 - 21" inlet runners.  I just bit the bullet and built an intake from scratch.
