With FI the shorter most direct route wins every time.
Thanks for the link Andrew. I was looking at their website the other day when you mentioned it.

i seen one at bw a couple of weeks ago. the guy said it was a prototype. im not sure who made it but he said it improved acceleration and throttle responce with no flat spots. if anyone knows about it let me know. does anyone know the benifits of the wilson plenum

Runner shape and volume is where most of the tuning is done, yes, however that tuning goes out the window if you dont have plenum displacement and shape to support it.

Jet ---so many factors as Tech said, That one you illustrated, is off a small Block Ford I believe but, no matter. Flow characteristics are what it's all about and there would have to be a lot of time involved in making inexpensive prototypes to test on a Flow machine, By rights, set up for your individual requirements, (CFM/RPM, Velositys,Fuel/Air Paths@different RPMs)
Be fun to play with if you had the time and the Money

Hmm. What would be even cooler if each runner had a velocity stack. I plan on fab'in a custom plenum for myself someday. Just need to take a welding class of some sort and I'll be on my way

to each his own, but it's (SFR's) by No means ugly ...
you don't need to 'adapt' the twin throttle bodies into your setup, so no big changes needed, ... you can buy the single throttle body design...i have it on my car atm... going back to stock...wanna buy it?
...beautiful...
