Well, since everyone is commenting, I thought I'd say a little...
Firstly, your approach while unproven might sound stupid, I at least give ya credit for asking others whether or not it's beneficial. I think the important thing here is that as mentioned previously, our dsm's are pretty tried and true designs....People like Buschur and Glazar (as well as everyone else) have developed *staged* plans on going faster have done it for a reason....That is to pass on to the *consumer what gains will be found for the least amount of money. I agree that those parts won't be useful on anything less than a drag car. Yes, they will flow more, but not to the point that the performance would outweigh the cost. Typically, a 1g Extrude Honed intake manny will flow enough for low 12's/and I've personally seen high 11's on 'em. Not to mention that due to the design of the 1g or 2g manny, you will most undoubtedly LOSE horsepower in the replacement, but more importantly torque and feel your car's power go flat. I don't think I'd wanna put a high flow intake on a stock car for the sake of doing it. Some of this stuff is up to the owners, but on the exhaust side, I'd find it very hard for someone to beat a stock 95+ manifold for the money...(presuming they're gonna run a mitsu style turbo) I just don't understand why people wanna go through the pain and agony of doing stuff differently for the sake of having done it. If you're gonna do something different than someone else GREAT! But do yourself the favor of learning from other's mistakes/experience and R&D before you throw away your money. You'll find the secretive stuff induction related (turbo related mostly) to be one of the final stages of building a car...That's where you're gonna be on your own for making HP. Be innovative then
. Good luck, and I hope you didn't take any of this offensively, just trying to help you learn from other's trials. (I've found it saves me money, but more importantly time)
