Can't see why, seems like two different customer bases to me (would never ditch the stock hood, or cut it, that's what Camaro's are for..).

Signed, MSD fanboi..

High ram intakes have been available for 5+ years. Nothing special or new really. If you want a highram, order a holley one.

There has always been race car intakes for swaps, race cars, etc and those who want to cut cowl/hood.

I was eventually going to order a Holley Hi-Ram but will wait to see how this one stacks up. being able to pretty much have the powerband you want will be awesome.

HUGE heat soak! Composite for the win. I have a very highly respected tuner in my area that has tested numerous intakes and he said the heat soak is a deal breaker as far as power loss.

Heat soak isn't really an issue for race cars, and air moves through the intake so fast it doesn't have a huge effect. Just fun marketing stuff though.

Is this a nice intake, probably. Is it a game changer, far from it.

Interesting intake...essentially a Holley Hi-Ram in composite form, but the configurable runners is pretty cool.

A monkey could figure out that the stock hood wouldn't work with this intake.... Tell me that you have a point other than the obvious...

As far as having your cake and eating it to? I think is a game changer. I have almost a thousand HP to the wheels so would you call it a race car?? I sure wouldn't. My car has everything stock in it that it came with factory and everything still works. Will it take some modifications to fit? For sure...but it will be well worth it over a cast intake especially when you can switch out the runners for the best combo
