That **** is ridiculously huge. Absolutly no power gain with the size of that thing and that throttle body. Doesn't even have space for piping. I'd rather use it for a party salad bowl.
Maybe for a serious FI set up with a huge snail and LOST of boost.

it may look ugly, but look at the air horns or velocity stacks inside, they come up into the middle of the chamber, so even though its huge, it may have some good air flow and charge properties, that may benefit the motor well. Only testing will prove it tho...

one thing i don't like about it is the fact that the velocity stacks are not at the same angle as the lower manifolds runners at that point. the lower manifolds runners are at a 45 degree angle right at that point, so having the velocity stacks pointing straight up makes for a sharp 45 degree turn and huge amounts of cavitation on the slow side of the runner. a couple after market intakes are this way. yes, a large plenum volume is great for f/i, giving each runner plenty of volume to draw from.
i am very interested to see what altered atmoshpere is going to do to the stock middle plenum as i believe that still will have the straightest runners and making the smoothest path possible to the valve pocket. might loose a little torque but should give good mid and top. https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/150184-little-sneak-peak-at-some-r-and-d-guess-what.html

There is absolutley no benefit for NA application. Look at the size of the throttle body as well.So if a huge size plenum was really a benefit we should fabricate a plenum the size of Yankee Stadium?

The stock piece is a decent starting platform, but you will still never get perfection from it, as even IT does not quite properly match angles with the runner section. Close, but no cigar. However I bet you could make an affordable alternative out of it, thats for sure.
Just got home from the shop, we just finished construction of our 2nd prototype. Test fitting probably next weekend, and a lot more to do after that. Probably have something that I can show off in a month... but ours isnt gonna be quite so inexpensive, under $1500 tho :shrug:
