I guarantee that if you asked 1114 if they spent a while to get their roller intake in 2008 to work the way they wanted to, they would tell you they tried different wheels, widths, speeds, motors, torques, angles... Now, I can just grab my CAD file from the internet, buy a versa frame kit, and suddenly I have a competitive intake.
Arguably if everyone does this, it's no longer a competitive intake.

Raising the bar and all.
