you think that individual intake manifold pipes are better in performance combared to the huge unibody intake manifold? i would guess air is more evenly distributed?

No...the turbo would be on the other side, lol.

I don't know if that's the exact same car, but I know Ground Zero Performance in Portland, OR has the same set-up on their MK4 Supra.

It looks fackin crazy in person, I have a picture of the motor as a wallpaper on my phone...If I remember right, on pump gas it made 800hp, and with nitrous and race gas makes over 1,100hp or something...

It was hawt.

I think he is running the distributor due to engine management he is running, Venom used it & vinny ten used distributor before on there motors... Not a fan of the intake manifold, I wonder if it's for show, I doubt they spend hours & hours flow benching or dyno tuning the lenghts of the runners...
