Skunk 2 cams? Dyno sheets anyone?

I find the comparison with the stock tune more interesting since it lets me compare how the whole package improves the OEM setup and not just the manifold alone. I'd love to see how this manifold with cams and EMS performs.

The IP manifold looks like it has even less internal volume than the stock manifold.
the plenum on the IP manifold is probably 3x the size of the stock manifold

are we looking at the same pics?

longer runners generally make power lower in the rpm's, shorter in the higher rpms.
from what i can tell the stock runner length is pretty good for most NA applications

It may be interesting, but it's not helpful or relevant. The before / after dyno they posted doesn't even seem to show the kind of gains that would be expected from a decent tune alone. If we are to assume that they did a good job tuning it, then I guess we need to assume that their IM actually HURT performance.
I may be wrong, but I tend to believe that doing single part comparisons don't provide much information. I believe that these sort of parts make better gains when used together and tuned properly, than a single item without other support. Some of this stuff will show losses if untuned/not properly supported. I like looking at the whole picture IMO.
