I will be very interested in the result. Since you are only running 5 psi and there still lots of room left for the stock manifold to take to flow. I would like to see the improvement. You havent max out the stock intake yet, I just wonder how much improvement the dyno will show for the 27% increase in airflow.

Great you just answer two of my questions. So other issues will address later? Meanwhile you dont know it will work or not?

This has been shown on the forum but I don't belive anyone has been told that there are hundreds already made and waiting on the shelf for sale. This is a work in progress and if you read the info you will find that the one shown is for a 2UZFE /Supra application which,obviously will be different from a Tundra application.
Commericial business don't sell parts while the product is in progress. Commericial sell parts because they have been tested and documented.

I am not sure what kind of logic you are using. Flowed doesn't mean its proven. I got few plastic pvc pipes from Home Depot and they flow 80% better. Is that mean my plastic plumbing pipes are proven? By your definition, Yes, it did flow... therefore its proven... The logic doesn't ring a bell. Proven doesn't mean how much it flows. Proven is how the manifold work with other parts. The manifold function as a part of system. The manifold doesn't function as individual part. I have nothing against, but rather the community demand great evidence. Since you pride yourself with quality products, we would demand more testings.
