The "Machine" intake IS cast iron and IS different than the R4B. At one time
I had both side by side. The Machine intake IS better than the stock intake,
slightly taller with slightly bigger runners. But not as tall as the R4B nor
are the runners as big.
I used the Machine intake on my Javelin when I was running "stock" class. No
one ever caught it.

But HEY,,, that's just me,,
