What's there to know about ITB's? either you make a custom set or you buy a set already made then you pay for the tunning....

TWM is fine if you have the money but ITB's aren't for the average joe that drives his car from the house to mcdonalds

hope you have a super high compression and big cams and LOTS of headwork. Otherwise don't waste your money on ITBs. If you wanna a baller intake manifold look into the AIR manifold by ENDYN.

There is no best, it is about velocity stack length, throttle opening and tuning that will make the most gain for your engine. I suggest you get the actual motor built first, then source out the proper sized ITB because right now, it seems like you are going after names, not what is actually needed for the engine.

are the runner lengths adjustable on the twm itb's? by tuning the runner length with spacers you can realize a difference of anywhere from 5-10hp. the omni power pro-4 itb's for the k20 are like this. they realized a 14hp difference over the stock intake manifold before tuning the runner lengths and a 21hp gain over the oem mani after tuning.

I designed a set if itb's with variable length runners...

At lower rpms the runners are longer to give you more low-end torque, and as the rpms climb to redline, the runners get shorter to make lots of high-end hp....simple as that...

I'll post some pics...

Obviously haven't built them yet but I want to.

here are some pics:

It's a V4 concept (something different). NOT a V8, the 8 individual runners are for each intake port (2 per cylinder).
