What intake mainifold is best?
From stock turbo to FP Red to HTA 3586R. If I was going to upgrade only one time... Who makes the best over all, intake manifold??? Let's see some dyno #'s for compairison if you have them! If there is a thread already out there, I could not find it!

There are many different intake manifolds out there that are better at one thing than another maybe better for another. One may offer a greater hp increase on the top end but may lose quite a bit in the mid range while another may shine in the mid range but while not producing as much top end power. This is a very vague question and is going to be difficult to get a good answer for.

This is a question without an answer....
There are many options which affect spool, where power comes on in the rpm band, etc.
For stock intake manifolds, there are many options....Buschur ported, MAP V1-3, MIL.SPEC R1 and R2.
I prefer a stock look, but want maximum results which may affect spool...so I have a Wilson V2 I purchased off a forum member. I may even test it against our R2 just to see what the difference is. Maybe our R2 will perform better? Who knows, until the testing is done....on my car. That being said, with the amount of work that went into the Wilson, I have every belief that it will perform well.
Anytime you increase plenum size from stock you are going to change the dynamics of the engine/car. There are many good IM's on the market. Driven Innovations, Magnus, AMS to name a few.
Regarding the Hypertune, Ted B. has had issues with 2 of them. It looks like a great product, so perhaps they will remedy their particular issues.
Take all this with a grain of salt because I am no engineer.
