Any info would be great!

It is a "one of" custom piece that Keith did for me. I had him step it down to fit.
For in excess of 3500 he will build ya one.
"O" he said it will outflow one of "his" Super Victor's.

I did the measuring with the stock intake in the car, it JUST clears the cowl, it actually touches it, we will have the make room for it to move. That it the only intake like it.....no others exist. The whole top 1/2 of the manifold was fabbed by Wilson.....it is truly a work of art.

Wow, that intake is a bad *** piece! He should consider making a short run of these intakes, I bet he would sell a few, and it would drop the price some. He fabbed the whole top half of the intake? Very interesting..... did the base start off as a production cast piece that he modified? Either way, its very cool, and sounds like it will work even better! Cant wait to see what kind of power it puts down. What RPM do you intend to spin the motor? Stock PCM?

If that don't work then FAST will be getting a call.
That intake is WAY to big for a set of stock castings,my heads are Pro Action converted.

I doubt it would drop the price, Wilson is a bad *** place to get custom stuff, places like those dont lower prices. If it did come to pass where they made some they would all gape your wallet.
Not many would have engine to put under it to take advantage of the intake. This is a "max effort" kinda peice, might as well get a sheetmetal built, it would cost the same.

That is awesome man.
$3500 may be a bit steep for the gains with my current mods, but maybe later on
I'm no stranger to custom setups, I have a feeling we will be talking sometime soon
