Re: TVIS inlet

Manufacturers don't usually add the extra cost and complication of trick intake components unless there is a problem to be addressed. And in due course the smallport showed that there were better ways of fixing a lack of torque. Just my guess ALOT of motors incoorporate this wizardry. It simply wor...

seeing as you're gonna have to revert back to the oem manifold anyway...... just try it out
Can't see a TVIS intake choking anything at 200hp. Oldskewl dyno'd 145hp at the tires, with butterflies in, and mild cams
I'd imagine you're removing flaps because RPMs always above 4000, for your application

LoTek for example catered to this market for a few applications.
