SMIM Showdown! Lets figure this out once and for all!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I've got an old style magnus w/o stacks, but it's in my car and I drive it every day, so I can't really be without it. If you had done this a few months ago I would have been down to let you flow it, as I could have just rode my motorcycle.

Whomever wants to deliver mine, I don't care. Just call me or PM me or something and tell me WHEN!

If kerry is going to go then he can drop it off.

MORE NEWS!

This whole deal is getting bigger than I expected.

I had a lengthy talk with the folks at Beyond Redline today. I sent them an email this morning, asking for their participation, and they called me whithin 2 hours. Last month, they released a new SMIM for DSM's, and make some pretty bold claims about what it is capable of. Look for yourself, http://www.beyondredline.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=21

After discussing with them the details about what i have found so far, and the discussions I have had with other vendors, they agreed to send me one to test.

I am very happy to get some vendor suport on this. They too were glad that a completely independant source was willing to do this, as there can be no bias in any direction.

We are also talking about doing a dyno shootout to follow up the flow testing. We have not worked out any details to this yet, as that would be premature. I am hoping that I can get Magnus as well as JMF to supply manifolds for testing for this. Reason being, it will be at least a month or so before we are ready to get to that point, and I have a feeling nobody is going to want to leave their manifold off that long, or take it back off. Anybody that may be willing, let me know just in case.

So, I have added Beyond Redline to the list. As soon as I start getting SMIM's, Ill get flowing!!!:woohoo1:

That beyond redline one looks pretty interesting. Really freakin expensive though. Especially if you add the polished surface. Never heard of them before.

I have the one on the evo III but it is 2g style
it is all cast alum

I would do a stock 1g manifold too, just for a baseline.

TKR: I really would like to test that one as well. I know its for the wrong head flange, but I have a feeling that the angled entry and curved plenum is ideal. Ive been trying to find one of that design to test, but to no avail!

If someone could pick my manifold up too that would be great. Its sitting at primo performance.
