2. The front two cylinders are going to starve for air based on what I could see.
3. The bridge design across the back acts as a balance tube. however, it is all squared off with hard 90* edges and lips. This will cause a vortex at the back of the manifold and as the air travels across the balance tube it will worsen as it hits incoming air from the other throttle body.
My fear with this intake is that you will over lean the rear to cylinders and the front two will starve for air relative to the rear two cylinders. I hope its not another kinetix intake manifold.
These are just my impressions from handling the units... it will be interesting to see the flow data.

From what you seen and I seen. I agree with what you said for N/A. Yeah the rear cylinders will be lean. But for FI. That manifold is pressurized. So I don't think the rear cylinders will be all that lean compared to the front. But, I maybe wrong. Will have to wait and see.
