This video has short runner manifolds the last two runs, they suck.

I would think a high revving LLSR build would be a good place to install one. But on a bolt on car or small cam/bolt on? Too much loss on the bottom end for me.

But if I remember correctly, they claimed gains throughout the power band, which I just don't see possible with those runners. It just looks too close to those sheet metal intakes in design for me to see it being viable. But I am very far from anything resembling an expert, so WTF do I know?
