Default Kinsler Indy car intake?

Just curious if anyone here is running one of their manifolds.
Individual throttles for instant response, and yes EFI.

shorter version


They also have cross rams.

I called in Indy car because it's the same intake that all the old SBC entries in the Indy500 used.

They also made this


and this intake

Yep, I have built a few 410inch SBC engines using them about 5-6yrs ago. 750hp on Alcohol with a very conserative tune. We could have made a bit more but they couldn't hook up what they had, so we just tuned the motors to live a while longer. I still have one for a set of Brodix -12's sitting in the back of my shop waiting for that "project I'm going to get around to some day".
I also had a customer who ran one in his Ford drag car (605 inch Boss motor) for a while. It went 4.40's in the 1/8th on Alcohol.
You can definatly make some power with mech injection and they do look sweet.
They are also converting them over to Electronic Injection, so if you got the $$ your Vette could have it.

You can actually see it at the Corvette Musuem when it's in winter storage there.
