Default BBK Intake

It appears to be available.

http://www.bbkperformance.com/produc...-manifold.html

I'm not interested but maybe someone else is.

Then again it may still be wrong information.

Jegs has had it listed as "ships in 6 days",,,,,,,, for 6 months now. I don't expect it to ever go on the market.

Why don't they just come out and say it on the internet to stop all the talk about it?

This info came from a person involved with BBK.

It started out as an intake manifold and ended up as a tax write off.

So TPI is better down low and BBK better up top! "This manifold is making up to 50 extra horsepower and 50 ft lbs of torque on a stock 5.7L IROC-Z"


Delivery date? I suppose I will now find out. I couldn't resist hitting the "buy now" button!
