I took a chance after talking with Pray and bought one of these intakes about 2 weeks ago. Pics will not do a lot of justice until it is physically in your hands. I was able to compare the stock unit side by side with this ported unit. The floor of the runners where it turns down has a much smoother transition. Simply running your finger in and out of the runners makes this evident. Surely one would think air would travel much easier thru this reworked port than the stock unit wich has some pretty notchy turns in comparison. At the time tho I had no clue if that was true as what one would typically think vs what a flowbench,data,dyno reveals can be painfully different. The roof of the runner at the turn also has more room now as well as the width of the runners. Hard to tell seat of the pants and I only give the typical "feels like it pulls strong" assessment. He was VERY confident it woud make more power and this post shows it to be true and has much more than a seat of the pants assessment to prove it. Personally going into this I figured in the 8-10RWHP region and id be happy with it. Good guy to deal with answered my standard 85 questions before I actually bought it lol. The nice part is no tuning is required and it does not take a hit anywhere in the curve. If your running a stock tune imparticular this is a great option cost wise vs say the MSD. I would like to see some real 3rd party testing of the MSD to see how it does beyond 5800RPMs at holding power. I wonder if a heads or cam swap will be needed to truly hold power steady to 6500 wich is where it cuts off.
