The author refered to it repeatedly as a prototype, so it kinda got my hopes up.

True, but I don't know that I would refer to the author as an amatuer, he has a few book's under his belt and quite a bit of mod motor experience. I've read before that he has working with a company to push it to production, but I don't remeber the name of the company, or I would just go harrass them, lol.

Track Heat® Intake Manifold for Ford 4.6L 2V
Add some ponies to your Mustang with Trick Flow’s newest high performance intake manifoldâ€â€the Track Heat 4.6L 2V! Designed for hot street and track-ready 4.6L SOHC Mustang GTs, the Track Heat 4.6L 2V manifold improves performance in the meat of the engine’s powerbandâ€â€between 1,500 to 6,500 rpm with unported cylinder heads and 1,500 to 7,200 rpm with aftermarket or ported cylinder heads.

The secret lies with the symmetrical high-velocity intake ports and 75mm throttle body inlet, which work together to substantially increase airflow and distribute it evenly to the cylinders. With this revolutionary intake, you will be rewarded with big increases in performance over more expensive manifolds! Plus, the intake’s A319 aluminum construction is not affected by nitrous like the weak, plastic factory manifold. And don’t worry about hood clearanceâ€â€the Track Heat intake is a direct bolt-on replacement for stock and will fit under any stock-height hood.

That company that builds the Turbo Intakes for 5.0's was supposed to be taking that design and running with it but i haven't heard anything since then.

It was very impressive, picked up like 35 rwhp at peak on a NPI car. That really sucks for us...
