Where do you think he is making peak power? He might get a little more peak by revving it out, but certainly not 75whp at the same psi. If the stock mani makes power that high there won't be much of a market for a SMIM. For power to keep climing well, you need the tq curve to stay pretty flat up top.
Lagzilla is right hinting about the intake manifold. Some shorter runners and more plenum volume will certainly help though.
Does anyone know if Chris is still in Chi town? Seems like they wouldn't work on it again untill Wednesday.
The car is not even tune yet and is making 488whp at 6000rpm; chris has all that shit on his car and you think he doesn't have atleast some modified mani? You'll be surprise how much power you can extract from the oem design with some good work on it. The torque curve does't need to stay flat, it just need to drop at a lower rate than the RPM climb to keep picking up whp. Anyway is just a guess, but I'm willing to bet when the car is done 550whp on pump will be real.
