Thoughts on the new BBK intake manifold?
So it's hard to come by information on this damn thing but it sounds like it's going to be the best of both worlds. You will gain high end with out loosing your low end.
Here is a quote from their catalog
Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Increased horsepower without the current trade off for lost low end performance, in a package that requires no other modifications. Then take a look at this all new BBK DSI – dual stage Intake runner manifold for all 1996-2004 4.6L Ford Mustang. As today’s breed of smaller displacement motors use small diameter medium length runners to deliver the torque that consumers demand. It has always been a trade off to introduce a larger or shorter runner such as others in the aftermarket as the small horsepower increase at the top end is more than lost with the decrease in low and mid range torque. To provide the best of both worlds BBK engineers designed an intake manifold that features extra long small diameter runners for increased low end over stock with short large diameter runners for increased top end performance.
With eight electronically activated butterflies enthusiasts can pick the RPM at which they need to transition from the long runners to a combination of long & short runners. The best part is that the entire set up is packaged within the factory parameters so such things as existing throttle body & cold air upgrades will still work with this new manifold.
Our in house dyno testing has showed very strong gains on stock engine combinations with even better performance on models with traditional bolt on goodies and even higher increases on supercharged models. This new system comes as a complete manifold package and includes new high flow billet aluminum fuel rails.
Available FALL 2008
Price 999.99
I have also started to hear things on these intakes as well but I have no clue.

I really like the idea of this intake but I'm not sure I like the $1k price tag. I guess we'll have to weight and see what one of these things actually does on the dyno....that is if it ever comes out.

I was looking for it in 2006! I think BBK is full of sh*t when it comes to that intake. On top of being pricey, i think they are trying to find a way to back up the performance statements made about it.
