Well said Rob..

I will add that when I say "proven and flowed", I mean it. The manifold is proven in the fact that the cylinder flow is kept very close, and that it flows much more than a stock manifold will. In that sense, it is indeed proven. Any claim on HP gain would be foolish since every motor is different. No credible aftermarket intake manufacturer would ever make a guaranteed HP claim, but instead show the facts. In this case, the facts have been presented, and it is up to the public whether they will take it, or leave it.

I don't know about the next "HKS", but we are damn sure putting out parts that work. There has been a huge gap in innovation for the last 5 years, when it comes to the V8 community. Only a few companies have upped the bar in that time, while others are content to be the big fish in a small pond. The times are changing, and more performance products will be coming down the pipeline very soon for the 'uz-fe series of V8's. It's time to quit dreaming and join the rest of the performance world by way of innovation, and determination. It's time to wake up and get to work, because "sleepy time" is over...

There are 1000HP 2jz's prowling the streets, ask me how I know... What I don't understand is why there are not 1000HP 2uz-fe's roaming the streets. The answer is that when the V8 was legislated out of racing years back, the innovation curve stopped dead. Now here we are years later, just catching up. There is still much to do, however, and we will be there every step of the way.
