Im not out there to claim that this plenum is better than any other ones out there. Its merely an option for
A. A plenum/manifold that doesnt clear and hits the hood. Or
B. Has a ton of other issues.
I can personally tell you that the " other" manifold out there has its fair share of issues and it NEVER had a dyno/flow sheet on it and it sold like crazy merely because of its "NAME"
There are honestly very far and few that want true BIG power when they do this swap. And for those that are making huge power, they have probably dumped enough money into the swap/engine that they can afford to do a completely custom manifold, not something like this an off-the-shelf production piece.
I know for a fact that why the VVL swap has not been more popular is that you would have to easily spend 2K just to get the "swap" components even before you have the cylinder head. Again this is just an option for those budget guys that want to have the cylinder head on their car.

I'm not expecting you to post a dyno sheet, however it would at least show that it's been tested to perform.
Like I said, I like the concept, but at the end of the day, people that want real power, useable power, are going to want something that has some performance testing behind it. Not just an idea that was thrown on paper and ultimately doesn't perform any better than a stock flipped manifold or a similar manifold on the market.
