Default individual throttle bodies?

in the 4 cylinder atmo world the most exotic induction setup appears to be the Individual Throttle Body

you also see them on sportsbikes, and in F1



but you don't see many on V8s, except really high revving flat plane crank stuff like this



M5s and ferrari 360s

has anyone here used them? and if so how do they compare to LS manifolds etc

GEEEZUS Rodger! Every time I see that pic I see more and more detail. I could park that in my livingroom and be happy to just stare at it.

Yeah sometimes I think the worst thing I ever did was install a body on that chassis.

The IR intake setups are pretty common, especially on a V8. I have 4 in my shop currently.

The IR intake is only a small part of it. It just adds to the whole package. Pure art as far as I'm concerned. The body was a killer piece in itself. Either one separate or together would look great right here in my living room!
