    Wow, and as a added bonus, you get a free valve grinding everytime you start your engine!

    Made by a Thai tuning company.
    The amount of effort involved converting to ITBs is a huge pain.
    They also have a drag mirage that runs 15.3 quarter. Had 272 cams, ITB setup, internal work.

    with ITB why don't people ever just cover the top of them with a filter just to be safer?

    Btw it looks bad ass none the less.

    I wonder if the goal is free airflow over cleanliness.

    Sure, but the effort to convert from the electronically controlled throttle to a cable is not worth it. I went looking down that route and gave up.
    This company also have a drag mirage, runs 15.3 quarter mile.

    Designed for track use not on a street car. Track doesn't have as much contaminates as open road situation.
