Finally finished the crazy big inlet manifold. Some won't like the design. But it has a good chance of evenly distributing the airflow to each runner, in my thoughts anyway. Oh and it's interesting to hear all the lag comments on my other platforms.

    Good stuff! You wouldn't happen to know anyone who could do a quickie computerized flow analysis on it would you?

    Ive learned a while ago to size the runner to the power...not to what the head port is. My current theory is 90 gross HP per square inch of manifold runner area. Which on my car dictated 1" diameter runners. It felt so weird and wrong. But gotta keep the gases hot and fast to expand thru the turbine not before it. My "micro-tube" manifold has been treating me very well and I have awesome response and torque to the point where I have to deliberately numb my boost control curve to keep the rods in 😂
