Default bbk intake manifold?

Does anyone know what happened to the BBK intake manifold that was in production that had both small and long runners? I checked the website and now I don't see it. Did the give up on making it?

You're right, I don't see it on BBK's site anymore.

Vaporware. A prototype was made and that was it.

nick is right...they only made a few prototypes and tested them with a few variations and that was it...it would have been a great manifold if it would have went into production with it

its stupid how they still advertise it though.....hell will freeze over before this intake actually goes into production....and with the s197 platform and the new 5.0 that came out, you know they're not going to wast their money on a part that takes them back in time when they can be producing products for the new cars

I don't know, something tells me that if they were testing it and it's still not in production, there's probably something they found in testing that they didn't like.

P51's a good choice, as well as the Trickflow for big boost FI. They've both been fairly well tested.
