Weapon-R is debating the production of a new dyno tuned aluminum intake manifold for the Cougar/Contique. This new manifold will be a combo of Upper AND Lower in one!

Early estimates are looking to see a 20hp gain when using intake/exhaust/intercrew ecu.

ALL feelings, suggestions, ideas are welcome.

ALSO, if this were to be produced, how much would you be willing to pay.

Leo from Weapon-R will be here to answer your questions.

Will this be a bent tubular aluminum intake? If so, I would consult the master for the design. (Terry)

For 20hp, I would pay $500 + shipping. Would it include new injectors? If 24 lbs injectors, I would go $600.

I think we need to see some kinda prototype plus a dyno. If you get all that I think you'll get a bigger response.

Ditto.

20hp gain over SVT or reg. Duratec manifolds?

If it's 20hp over reg. Duratec, no thanks.

20HP over what I have right now and you we are talking...

$500 sounds steep. For a little over half that I could EH mine again. IIRC Leo is running 330+ crank (N/A) with a slightly enlarged DH SVT upper manifold. So the stock manifold can make power.

Would it be able to handle positive intake pressures beyond 7psi?

"This new manifold will be a combo of Upper AND Lower in one!"

Does that mean Bye-Bye Secondaries?? or would the IMRCBox/Cable be incorporated into the new Intake manifold?
