It's a Flipside Customs manifold that has a Q45 throttle body flange on it. The plenum is bigger than the other versions because that tb is huge. If anyone is interested in a manifold from him he has a more conventional version that will use the Mustang tb as well. It's very similar in design, but will actually have a more finished look and seems like it will be very nice.
What do you guys think? Throttle body too big/small, plenum to big/small, runners too short/long, etc...

The TB is what they call a 90mm, but it's actually tapered inside and only about 85mm or so. Popular on many other cars, just not the Miata, yet.
Looking for more power up top, so if I lose a bit down low it won't concern me. I can't wait to start using the TB and I do agree that it's the right size.

Sorry I didn't polish that up for you guys . Mine has something a bit closer to velocity stacks inside it. Just didn't do a runner/headflange setup. Didn't have the ease of the injector in head setup. Wish I had that for simplicity though.
Jay: Not starting stuff, just found it fun to see a version very similar to mine. Has worked fine for me. Now go make some crazy power

Here's a picture of a test fit that I did earlier. Only thing that I ran into was the alternator bracket will get in the way so I will be having a new bracket fabricated to give me a little more space.
On a side note, anyone watch Pinks All Out at Pacific Raceways last night?

Put the factory intake manifold back on so I could go racing this weekend. Ended up getting a new personal best yesterday. Going back today to see if I can run faster or break the car trying.

You're into the safety requirements for 11.49 second car, have you met all of them?
