It is very large and open on the inside and every cylinder has an equal shot at pulling air from the plenum. I believe that we will find that we have enough displacement to overcome any potential static airflow balance. It certainly couldn't be any worse then coming in from the rear!

what else do I need to install on my car? My current mods are Zaino, tint and test pipes....

how much does it weigh?

why is it so expensive? I think if you can make it for $250, you'll sell alot more and make alot more money

Now that those are out of the way
Adam.....I bet I can come up with some more

Definitely looks badass Charles - I know you've got HKS injectors (IIRC?) on your car - any issues with the usual suspects as far as rails/injector combos? (that last question was legit lolol)

I think I understand what Cheston is asking, since I know where he works Is it a channeled air guide on the underside of the cover (sorta like a reversed diffuser) or a flat plane? I think I know the answer, but that might be what he was going for
No issues with the rails with my tall hks 1000s. There is nothing fancy on the underside of the plenum cap.

No strut bar question? I think the cusco will fit with spacers

That was a question I was going to ask also about the injectors...because i am using the HKS also.

About the strut bar....OK..I will ask...Will ARC strut bar fit

Any bar that will fit will have to be spaced up, and be able to fit inbetween the plenum and hood... The thinner the bar the better the chances... Cusco is insanely thin and wide . I haven't seen the arc but I'm willing to bet there aren't many bars like the cusco, which still may not fit I'll check tommorrow.

Charles,
First off looks great.

second, if you want to make sure it'll clear on the G, we'll probably have my plenum off soon (damn you chris )

If I put this on my car, would I make 1034 RWHP instead of 1033?? Does it come in Dark Cherry or Bamboo?


Looks Great CJ!!

Seriously I think that one of the keys to our car making all that HP and revving so high is the CJM intake manifold.

I hope you're right larry!

If we do any more wood ones we thought we should just leave on the treebark and everything... Dissipates heat better. We cut one out of chocolate for brandons wife's v-day gift.

You forget the most important question, can I retain my stock strut bar?!?!

Do you guys think you will switch to this new version with the throttle body up front? As impressive as the one currently on your shop car is, I'm confident that this straight path through the front has gotta flow better and will yield more power versus the conventional angled rear entry on your prototype and all the other VQ plenums out there.
