Question kms intake manifold make good power?

ok if this has been posted before i am sorry but i tried to search for this with my wonderfull 56k conection and since 56k blows donkey *****, my search was worthless. so if anyone has one and likes or dislikes it let me know what kind of power it makes.

oh and i know dezod is makeing one but i am curious about the power that this one makes.

NA loses tons of power, but i think for turbo it helps.

its a square box with short round pipe welded to it. The physics invloved with building it rival those needed to play with tinker toys.

only reason it gains power on turbo cars is that the runners have less restriction, which means the air being forced in has an easier time going into the cylinder.
It is bad for NA because the air velocity inside is too damn low

Steggy is an unknown quantity at this point
Hey Drunkenmagnum,

I tried to pm you, but your box is full. Clean it out and try again. no ridiculous prices though because its brand new, never been used, and still in the original bubble wrap with the included bolts and spacer.

thanks for the help...im still debating.
i want to make as much power as possible without craming too much more boost in it. i already have the comp stage 2 cam which will go on soon but i am wondering if i should install this at the same time.

steggy- i cleaned some out try it now

Its getting tuned for the new mods. Crower Stage 2 cam, kms im bored throttle body and the Aem Ems. Its just time consuming. If you can install the cam then the IM should be no problem. The bitch is the stock bolts on the bottom of the stock IM but other than that it was not to hard

if you have skinny arms you can get the bottom IM bolts with a small socket wrench, by leaning over the car.
