I've read it front to back and back to front. : )

Not sure if the fitament problems outway the 7 horsepower. Yes I know it would be more when you get to 650 plus horse but really how much. Does anyone have any real proof how much.
I've run a TW for about 20 years and always felt the look is great. For several reasons I recently decided to remove the TW and installed a new BT 2x4. I like the BT a lot and it will stay on my engine.
With the TW intake the engine began to get edgy at 2,000 rpm. With the BT I can putz around at about 1,500 rpm before the edgy factor is annoying.
My car is street-driven and its hard to find a good place to wind it up to 7,000 rpm which is about where the TW starts showing its advantage over the BT.
Thanks for posting that up. I think most - maybe nearly all- know the TW is not as competitive at low rpm but it helps to see it in black and white. But it's probably not bad enough for folks to not want to bolt down a TW just because it looks badass.
If HP was your ultimate goal, you'd ditch the MR and go with a Victor single plane. But those don't have the same cool as a dual quad MR.
