I need to find the shortest aftermarket efi intake manifold in order to have it all fit under my stock hood (rx7) but still make power... because it doesn't look like my typhoon is going to fit.

Maybe one of these?!? I think you might need to have some forced induction or a stroker in order for it to work well. I don't really know much about them but i thought of it when you said shortest.

I was going to suggest the same type of setup. I think there are other companies that fab these as well.

The other option is to cut down one of the standard 302 long runner intakes. By cutting out a .500" section of the upper (just above the mating surface) and welding it back together you could shorten things up a bit. Alternatively, you could machine down the mating surface of the lower intake.
Take your time doing some good mock-ups if you go this route. I shaved my upper intake only .300" and the TB is about .010" from the valve cover.
This option would not hurt your low end torque as much as a short runner manifold would.

Ideally you should measure out how much room you have to work with though.

The spyder is looking pretty good, but I wont be getting my supercharger for a lil while, I guess i'll just shave down my stock gt intake if I need to, but after checking everything out again today I think I might be able to make it work....here's hoping thanks for the replies guys.

I am using the comp cams polymer intake.

This is the intake I shaved down ~ .300" for hood clearance on my Fox 408w swap.

It works great.

I would not recommend boost with it though.
