1st part of that is true, designed for 2.5 with secondaries, the second statement is not true, it will not be a big heat sink. Of the two available options looking from intake valves to TB the spilt port will flow MORE air then the ovals period. Is either one optimal probably not, will it show up as a restrition on the dyno on the way to 700hp maybe, maybe not, however I guarentee he will make more power with the SVT intake manifold versus the oval. You should see how much material is removed from the oval heads to make them into a split port, its gross how bottled up the oval ports are from the factory. If Gabe runs into a restriction at least he has the heads worked to allow for the larger better flowing split port intake runners, he can then have a custom manifold made that would be optimal for a TC set up eliminating the bends, increasing volume etc....but we only have two options available at the time and he choose the best way available.



Since when did more removal of more material become better? The runners on the 2.5 intake are one short and one long for the secondaries... How does it affect the airflow when you port the oval port heads to split port and have one longer runner getting air to one side and the shorter runner to the other???
How are they bottled up? Just because they don't use and UIM like the 2.5's?
And the injector position is far from optimal unless you have injectors specifially made for this setup which are gonna be spraying so it'll be properly atomized
How do you figure he'll be making more power with the svt than the oval?

BTW, im not sure if I want to sell the UIM since its probably gonna go on my engine once I drop it back in
