Drop him a line if you would.

Even if you see that we already have your manifold for testing, please, volunteer if you are willing. I want to test a few doubles too, to see how consistant they are. I know this might be getting a little anal, but its not much more work to test a few extra!

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

Are you testing more to find equal distribution or flow?

Both

For my own needs, I am concerned about equal flow. However, the total capable flow is also important when judging what intake best suits your individual setup.

Blageo23 AND 95talonracer are in

There has also been a request for a old style magnus w/o stacks.

First Page Updated!!!

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

I have a really old Magnus with the silicon runners that isn't being used. The runners aren't even close to lining up with each other, but it made great power.

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

What are you guys testing this on? (equipment) and at what flow levels?

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

It is a super flow bench, and we will be testing everything at 28", as this is the standard most shops use.

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

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.

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

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/i...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!!!

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

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!
