Default Skank2 Intake Manifold for Boost?

I have herad so much **** about this IM, that it robs power in fi apps, or it makes alot of power in fi apps, now does someone have PROOF or some dynos? Because I am sick of tryind to get thes stupid sheetmetal intake to work properly and I want to look at my other options. Also, is there room for porting in the Skunk2 to get more volume, thanks.

I don't know if anyone has looked, but I found Two ludes on here running the SK2 Mani with FI....and both had great results from the install. Both have dynos to prove it.

I have it on my FI Lude...but my stance is somewhat neutral b/c I have no before and after dynos. Also, the other two ludes are up in the 300+hp range, while i'm at the 250 mark.

Well any manifold can make those numbers - you can have those numbers on a stock intake manifold. The thing is, if they change it to a better manifold, and maybe change the TB they could see greater gains.
