I am guessing that the added volume near the front of the plenum is because the front cylinders are running too rich or are starved for air(?). Also, I realize that this is early in development, but, will there be a more aesthetically pleasing version? Possibly a polished aluminum skin over the entire top that still allows access to the bolts.

I applaud Crawford for seeing something that can be improved and ....a) having the skill to figure out what's wrong, b) having the guts to try and make something better, and C) to actually make something better. Well done guys, if I actually follow up with my G35C order I'll be ringing you up for all sorts of stuff.
That's the first time I've seen a pic of the manifold with the plastic cover removed. I know that's not the stock one but the manifold looks whacky to me. Not the crawford one, but just the way the stock one is designed. It looks like a manifold for an I-6 with all the runners side by side like that. Do they criss-cross or something down to the intake ports?? That just looks like strange? I'm used to the normal criss-cross over top of each port on V engines. Which intake runners go to which pistons? IE do the runners on the outside go to the pistons towards the front of the car?
Plus I don't much care too much what it looks like as long as it puts out the power. Once again, good work guys.

Nevermind, after seeing the pics VQRacer posted I understand why you would want our stock plenums. How many inches taller is the Crawford plenum than stock? TIA

We're looking into resources to have a "bling bling" cast unit made... since this isn't pretty enough for the majority.

In the picture I see a flyer with text on it. It appears if it says that with headers, intake plenum, and high-flow cats, you're getting 40rwhp total. Was that number arrived at by dynoing each mod individually or were all the mods present for that dyno run?
If you do have a combined mod dyno, can I get a copy?
Thanks,
Jeff

4000 - 5200 ehhh, something feels different
5200 - redline - pulls like a Honda (I made 20 rwhp up here)
At idle the car feels like it revs quite a bit easier...
and just for laughs... which its hasn't been mentioned...
this thing makes a killer ... woo woo sound!

Because in terms of roadracing the S03s suck... Doug shreaded his set pretty rapidly, in my opinion they don't have as stiff a sidewall. You don't want the water channels to be large, compare the RE040 and the S03s... In terms of drag racing I would bet the S03 is a dominant tire thou.

Yea but I am willing to bet you ran quicker lap times with the S03s. What tire pressure where you running?

If they were stock sizes... same driver, the RE040s would be just as fast.

Non-timed road event... but of course I did, I have far more experience then Evil did. More importantly I'm running 255f and 275r...
