I don't have the RxParts intake, but if Roan is willing to lend me his for a little Pan Ams "show & tell" then I'll definately bring it.
We are setting up a GRS hospitality area next to Paradise racing, so I guess you can can see it there or at AnthonyNYC trailer?
As for cost, I honestly don't think it's that bad.. Stop comparing it to a JW unit, it's wayyy different. That's like comparing a Xcessive LIM to a stock unit and bitching about the price. A stock LIM is $50 usd and a Xcessive is $500, but they are 2 very different units. They both will support 800hp but one will do it much more efficently.

Never really had any problems with my JW. The casting was a little off but by the time i ported it out it was all gone I did surface it though because i was having some issues with sealing but it's good now to 30 psi. I like the RxParts intake but i am not going to blow $500 to replace an intake that is working fine. However if it did have provisions for extra injectors in the secondary runners i would scoop one up. I really don't like the way i did mine.

there will be a few cars running these intakes at the Pan Ams. possibly 2 or 3 this wekend at summer slam.
as for price, i see it as a you get what you pay for thing. a benz and a hyundai both have 4 doors, so why is one more expensive?
i have listed the reasons why I KNOW it's a better unit, and why i bought one. in my opinion it more than justifies the cost. and i don't see why you are saying its twice the price?? $200 for JW 150 semi perif mod that i find questionable, then you have a total of $350 vs $500. with all the other deficiencies you're left with after the $350 investment, i think the RxParts is the way to go.

You got me confused, as I never said that it was expensive, hell I haven't it mentioned the RXparts intake, thil this post
All I am saying is:
1 - I never had an issue with the JW, and its been on the car since almost two years ago
2 - You should take a few of them to the pan ams, because I am pretty sure that you will sell them on the spot

Are these manifolds made by Roan Ambrose(extreme rotaries) or a different Roan?
Do they make them for TII motors in semi pp aswell?
Could someone pm me contact details for people selling them.

Certainly looks different.. The intake got me hooked, so I think I'll get one
I'm more of a E&J guy after seeing what their parts have done on the PR race cars. Actually, as soon as Edgar gets back to the shop I'll be placing my order
