Whats the advantage? I saw a couple of HEMI's at the Cajun Sportsnationals with this intake? Are they to be better or superior to the sheetmetal intakes??

I would assume you are refering to the runners and not the manifold itself. .... There is a huge labor savings using a billet runner as opposed to fabricating a sheet aluminum runner ,epoxying it and then matching all eight on the flow bench. ... With a 5 axis machine doing the porting on a billet runner , flow numbers on each runner will be much easier to match. .... Tom
