Hey all,
I was doing some poking around the Tork Tech kits and contacted Charles if it would be possible to do something similar to their intake manifolds but trim it down for a V6. It turns out he had designed a intake manifold awhile back for the V6 but stopped short because of the market conditions. He went as far as to getting a sheet metal prototype made up. This is what I know about it:
- Air to air using using front mount intercoolers that is common with the SC, there is not enough room in our valley to house air to water.
- Raised over an inch over stock for better flow.
- Acts as a large plenum so the cylinders can draw from a large volume. This should greatly reduce distribution issues and such concerns.
- Has front entry so the intake manifold can use larger superchargers.
- Cast Aluminum
- The hole in the front would be a 3" hose barb coming from the air to air cooler, or of course if someone wanted they could have an external liquid to air heat exchanger.
- T stat is remotely mounted to allow more room for the supercharger and air passages. See pages 19 and 20 of the Tork Tech install manual to see how it would be similar.

- Would require aftermarket hood
- IAT could be mounted in or near the intake manifold
- Stock fuel rail if wish
- Uses universal bypass valve from Magnuson, it would be connected between the intake plenum and air leaving the inter cooler
- The intake magnum powers intake manifold would be starting point to a new line of parts including a TVS blower.
The target price point would be around $600. There would have to be a minimum number of 30 units pre-sold for him to finish design and get the units cast.
