It's a relatively easy project, it should never have taken them this long.

They aren't out there yet because of cost.
Who wants to spend 2-3k having a manifold custom made for them? Especially when you can run easy 11's and 10's with 2v heads?
The guys who DO have the money aren't messing with lightning. They have turbo 4v 5.4's in mustangs or are in a completely different area of the hobby because of cost. From a technical aspect there's nothing hard about it, all the parts are out there to make it work, just a little custom machine shop work is needed, but since none of the L tuners have machine shops themselves, this makes the cost of fooling around to make one much much higher. Sean hyland made them several years back, just milled the top off a navigtor intake and the bottom off a lightning intake, weld it togther and voila. Obviously there are some other smaller details to work out, but nothing that cant be solved by poking around the ford parts bin.
