S14/S15 Velocity Element intake manifold

[S14Al]

Hello- this is the first time i have ever posted on here and wasn't exactly sure where this should go. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with this particular intake manifold?. It is sold by the site Brewed motorsports (searched for them on here and it looks like they got some good reviews) the brand of intake is Velocity Element i will leave the link below. I tried searching for reviews on these manifolds but could not find anything. It looks like this intake manifold keeps the long runners which i like. I know the short runner manifolds tend to lose power at the low end, but make more up top. My car is only driven on the street so i figured that one of the aluminum short runner intake manifolds wouldn't be a good fit for street driving. I also noticed for an additional cost they offer multiple different sizes of throttle bodies and a fuel rail. If anyone has any experience with this manifold or possibly a dyno graph i would appreciate any feedback anybody has. I believe the owner of Brewed motorsports is a member on here as well, i think his username is TunerMT. Thanks for the help in advance

That intake would best be used for high hp setup...

So if I was shooting for Lets say 380-400 this intake might not be the way to go.

No...stock intake would be ur best bet

Stock manifold for the Notchtop does flow a ton, more than enough for the bottom end to handle ;). Plus you get the win from long runners for that nice low down torque.

Sounds good I’ll keep my stock manifold and get it powder coated. One less thing to buy, thanks for the feedback guys I appreciate it.

IMO you would be better off taking that $700 and buying cams or put it toward a better turbo. If you really want an improvement on the intake side, take the stock manifold and have it extrude honed to smooth out any casting imperfections, and then have it polished or powdercoated to look super nice. The stock intake manifolds aren't very restrictive so unless you're above the 500whp range, there isn't much gain to be had here. Better to spend money where it will do more good.
