Awesome Grand am
I just have to say bro that is one sick grand am. I really like everything about your car . Your car is a super sleeper for real. Just watching the video where your car burns up the track inspires me to make the 2.4 better.

Bah...I will not give Rob my CF badge. There were only like 2 of them ever made! lol
But he does have dibs on the CF gas lid that I need to ship to him once I get back to my shop.
Although Rob has a very fast car, I still have the timeslips that I beat him at the track. AND he's gay.
lol

Designed precisely to flow the big leaf blower he has attached in the back.

yup that intake is sweet...not too good for show, but does wonders for high and very high HP applications, its very close to the supra intake that costs upwards of $500+ that a lot of guys pushing 700+hp use

What's so weird about it? It looks just like one of the many aftermarket intake manifolds for DSM's.

If you want a good intake manifold for a Supra you're going to spend over $1200. I wouldn't even let this thing go for less than $850.

Just curious if you can tell me what the difference is between your intake mani & the 2.3 mani?

I don't exactly have access to a flowbench.
I don't even know anybody that has flowbench numbers on the 2.3HO manifold.
This thing isn't a rickety manifold, so it holding boost is not a question or a thought.
I wanted a custom piece, and wanted something that was a bit better packaged than a 2.3HO manifold. I got what I wanted, plus a nice properly mounted 75mm throttle body.

I understand why you did what you did with your setup Spy and I dont doubt your manifold dood. Just wanted to know if you knew it's specs.
Bottom line I was curious. I dont know exact specifics on the 2.3 mainfold but, through my conversations with Oldsman I think the mainfold could hold up to 20-some psi and I dont remember how much better it flowed vs the plastic 2.4 manifold.
