What ever happened with the KMS intake manifold?! No more posts? I don't see anything mentioned about it here.....For those of you who bought it - what was the final score?
Supposedly SFpower is making an intake manifold as well (according to a prior post by Catalyst). But there has been no more mention of that either......

Rep Power: 296 Last thing I remember is that everyone that bought it was dissapointed with the results. Apperently they had to adjust the timing or somenthing like that.
I too would like to hear about it.

Rep Power: 351 last i heard is that the manifold wasnt a good bolt on part but with the addtion of a cam gear and fuel controller it made quite the performace boost.

Rep Power: 0 hmm- wouldn't you get that from just the CAM gear, by advancing the timing?
Did someone have a dyno?
I got the manifold, but didn't bother opening the box, as the reviews (till i stopped checking weren't that good)

Rep Power: 0 I have the manifold and it made a difference with the adjustment of my VAFC...I didn't have a dyno tuning yet, but my friend made some adjustments and it helped out alot. If your thinking about getting "FI" you should benefit from it.

Rep Power: 288 Yah, that's my point. No one ever dynoed this after they got it. I'd hate to spend $500 on something only to have it be a large piece of crap.....That's why I think I'm waiting for SFPower to come out with one and see what the full deal is...

Rep Power: 351 This is why i still have mine. It was up for sale for a while then when i thought about the VAFCII and the SF kit then i figured i might be better off keeping it.

Rep Power: 299 i've had it bolted on for a while and was supposed to get a cam gear but since i am saving my cash for a trip to vegas next weekend i didn't have the heart to buy it yet. My plan is to try the cam gear out by itself. Then find out if vafc2 will work on the d17 with no problems. If the results are good, i'll buy it and get both dyno tuned. i'll get the gear on in a few weeks.
