10hp/11tq gain on a rotrex'd BP05 is kind of a bummer.
The fact that its a BP05 manifold is kind of a bummer. Hopefully they'll make others.

I mean its not like its been known that designing a good intake manifold for the BP that actually works well on a stock motor is next to impossible. Corky Bell has said for years that unless you have a built motor and over 300whp, its hard to build something better then 99/00/flattop.

I built a sheet metal intake manifold that I designed for a flat torque curve from 3000-8500. if your not just cruising around, the manifold would do a real good job.

Purposes of a mostly street car, i don't care what head is on the car when it comes to forced induction. Want more power? Run more boost. In the context of an off the shelf rotrex running off the shelf bandaids and the kit as-delivered, i'm not going to care or want to go through the trouble of a head swap, but i WOULD maybe bolt on an easy 10hp/10ftlbs for a few hundo and 2 hours of my time.
I'm waiting to see what this does on an n/a NBs. I'd like to see it on a mostly stock motor, and a race grenade motor.
