There was a huge thread about it a few months ago. The BBK rep posted quite a lot and there was a picture. Wonder what happened to him.

With the 1.7" id of the runners the BBK intake has a lot of potential. That is larger than anything on the market outside of the First.

Last time I checked it was still April of '08.



As for $700,....its a shame its a far cry from the original guesstamate of $399.00. :( I figured that would be the case though.

Yeah they told me around $400 several years ago. Now it's around $700.

I wish it was a 1 piece design.

Well, I think that them delaying it so long lends this forum credence - they know if it is crap, the word will spread faster than a Kalifornia wildfire. Bryan knows between here & thirdgen folks can turn a wrench, and a lackluster product may hurt them across the board. My economic stimulus money will be spent on an intake, so I'm gonna wait & see what we really get.....

after all of the years of delay, I think the horse is dead. April is almost over, so the next projected date is this fall. Whats after that? Personally after all this time, somebody is getting their chain yanked. And I think its you guys. Other companys have come out with some nice pieces for the tune port. First has a nice one, and a new guy in the market is professional products. They have 2 or 3 new set ups that look quite promising. Its up to you guys to seperate the bs from the real thing. when you see it for sale, its there, not some promise from the past. Just my observation on this subject

Got a link to professional products?

It's now on their web site.

try professional-products.com They have some nice products and about half the price of the other guys. Doug Herbert carries their products and a lot of the others. Summit and jegs also carries them, but don't push them like edelbrock or the others
