You might want to re-weigh the flat-top yossi. I literally weighed the two halves of the manifold on a kitchen scale half an hour ago. No other stuff connected to the manifold which might make a small difference (EGR valve etc), but it seemed to me that that would be most relevant comparison.

From this shot it looks like a custom brace mounted to the two side bolts on runner #1 could work (maybe even use the other one on the front too?
My first mod though would be to grind off the branding "mount" - it ruins the "organic look" of the manifold and adds lightness.

I want to see what happens after someone ports one of these.

Here's a profile of the flat-top:
Note how the TB sits quite low and there's a narrow channel leading up diagonally to the top half of the manifold.
Here's a front-on view of my ported flat-top:
That channel in the manifold is not as wide as the Skunk2 TB so air is being compressed AND flow redirected.

Bought one, who knows when it'll be here... I have a F.M. kit with a GT2560 running MS2. Not sure when it'll all be installed but if I can get a before and after dyno, I will post it up.

Haven't seen anyone else dyno test it yet... sounds like marketing fluff though.
"Dyno proven, these will make 10+ HP on NA builds and even more on super charged / turbo charged applications. For even better results, pair with the Skunk2 Alpha series throttle body."
