Weapon R intake manifold

[Phreak0402]

while looking over some websites the other day I stumbled across a weapon R intake manifold for the TC. I know that if you have a turbo that it will help it to spool up quicker or so it claims. I was wondering if anyone knew anything more about this part. What benifits would be seen on a Naturally aspirated application if this Intake manifold was applied?

Not many people have researched this. You could see gains of around 5-7hp N/A.

There doesn't seem to be much of reason to put one on then unless one has forced induction then. Thats what I would think at least. I am sure some could say the same about other bolt ons though.

the intake mani can provide gains for N/A applications.. coupled with management.

key word: management...
aka.. you need a piggyback/standalone you can tune your car with to accept the intake's increased air capacity.

meaning.. spending more money.

that makes sense that one would have to tune the car with a piggy back like the greddy emanage in order to really see any good gains from it. I wouldn't have any problem spending the money on both as long as the hp/tq gains were adequate enough to justify spending that kind of money. I would probably get the piggy back though independent of whether or not I sprung for the intake manifold.
