New LS1 manifold........
Was on the RKSport website and saw some manifold that Ive never seen before. Some SSI aluminum based off the LS6 design I guess. Anyone know anything about it?

Never heard of it, and would like to see some "certified" documentation by a third party that backs up their claim of increased HP. One place they say 12-20, then in a bulletin they say 12-25. Did notice that the photo may not be the actual photo of the manifold. 
. Just wonder how it performs.

First time I have seen this manifold. Looks nice, but I'd want to see some independent testing to back up the claims.

It's the new BBK SSI intake. I have been reading about this thing on other websites for the last six months or so. Most of the discussions have been on f-body based forums. Apparently, BBK had originally planned to ship it late last year, but they keep pushing the dates back, and no hard performance numbers have been released yet. The only information anyone has to go on is the manufacturer's own claims. From what I understand, BBK is suppose to be working on an 85mm throttle body for this thing, but currently only their 80mm is available. The latest shipping date I heard is sometime in May, but like I mentioned before, BBK keeps kicking the release dates back. On some of the other forums, there is speculation that BBK is having problems with it, hence their reluctance to release it for full production.
