Anyone have any news? I read the article on CNL's website but they haven't updated it either. From what I understand FAST had to redesign theirs to try and get the claimed power. Is there any preliminary word on the power the CNL will give on averge?

That is understandable, but they had better made it worth their while. Cause I'm not going to pay 800.00 for 20 crank hp. From my usderstanding, installing, and dyno testing the LSX manifold on an F body. That manifold with there throttle body netted 26 RWHP without any tuning. So I hope our cars response that well. But it doesn't look promising. On the other hand it may be a different story for FI cars. If they (CNL and FAST) can net at lease 20 RWHP at peak and a nice gain across the board, then the high price would be okay.

If im paying $800 for a piece of plastic it better get me at least 30rwhp
otherwise that $800 will go towards a procharger instead.
Lets say they cant get that much hp from it, the price should reflect it.

I hear you loud and clear! That's why I haven't sprung for the driveshaft swap yet...not that much spare cash laying around.
The intake should be a much bigger benefit after you charge it.

I see that CNL had released some info on the manifold awhile back. I haven't seen anymore information since this. I have called several times, but never talked to anyone. Anyone have any updates?

I dunno guys, the stock intake manifold looks pretty basic I mean what can somebody do to improve airflow, the runner look rather large already...from the outside anyway I guess I'll get a better look when I install the CMVC's next week.
