Looks nice but I wish the injector bungs weren't offset. I remember taking my old fuel-it pi off and checking out cyl 1, half the intake port was clean and the other half was dirty because of the offset injector :/
Which generation Fuel-It PI was that? They changed up the design at one point, going from pointing into the port (halves) but being offset toward one or the other, to pointing perpendicular to the port but spraying diagonally across both halves. Your experience sounds like the older one, the thicker one that had F U E L I T on it, is that what you had?

@suspenceful any chance you will install this, dyno stock IM, install the DR manifold, dyno again, retune and then dyno again same day? Or anyone else for that matter. It would really be nice to see back to back stock vs DR intake manifold comparison. Maybe ask DR for a discount as it would really help sell the IM with real proven gains. Also be a good video/content for your channel.

I'm hesitant as I am not sure I'll see gains that make buying it worth it at around 600whp. At least not bang for your buck gains especially with no headwork done...but I hope I am wrong. It would be a good excuse to install port meth however...

I wasn't planning on dynoing again before installing it. But I did want to dyno again afterwards.

If I can get a couple people to donate $10, I'll do same-day before/after results along with an installation DIY. All packed into one video. The money would just cover my dyno cost (~$100).

You got $10 bucks from me. Start a new thread for crowd funding?

Same day before, after, and then tuned would be my vote. You only need one pull before and after the install. Maybe a few while your tuners plays with the new IM on the dyno.

If there are significant gains on a stock head this IM should sell very well.

I'm not a tuner, but what would a tuner play with? My only concern is that dyno time gets expensive if I need to remote tune the car. I'll ask Wedge what he thinks about it, he's my current tuner for my JB4/MHD backend flash.

As far as the funding, I don't want to be "that guy". I figure this thread is a qualified spot to ask because it's about the product itself. If you know of anyone else that'd be interested in the data, feel free to ask them.

For those of you who are interested in this data, send $10 via PayPal to [email protected] or click this link: https://paypal.me/bimmerstreet

I can't wait to receive the manifold :)
