40-45 at the most let me try to find one for you.... you should stick with plastic really unless you want to do a box manifold. the aluminum ones heat soak pretty bad causing you to lose hp really due to warmer air charge...

RE: WANTED intake manifold
Heat soak is not a major issue for aluminum intake manifold. Hotter air combusts better than cooler air anyway. Though cooler air reduces the chance of detonation, it also requires more fuel to be used efficiently. The aluminum sohc manifold is only best for itb or box manifold use. $100 is a touch pricey, but you get what you pay for. How far do you plan on taking your neon?

your funny ghost. although heat soak isnt THAT big of an issue, on the topic of air temp. colder is better (to acertain point). of course im alwayse thinking in terms of power. you are most certainly right about the fuel eco. though.
