Anyone interested in a new custom intake for the DE motor?

Cool, I take it back. Looks efficient, now the real test: Flowbench, dyno, or both.
P.S.
Did you take measurements of the runner lenths and diameters stock and modified?

I'm not seeing the rear cylinders starving, but I have a little bit of a question about velocity. The collector area looks like it may cause a bottleneck depending on the interior wall and horns setup. But, aside from that looks like a great prototype.
The Fontana guys used what I think is the best design for outright peak figures.

Bump for the OP.
I would like to see someone make a manifold like they have on LSX engines. Maybe make a wire harness to extend the drive by wire setup and TB to the front and even make a nice cover for the top to cover the wiring as it goes over the top. I think there is a lot of power potential in the manifold b/c the factory design has that bend in the neck. If air just went straight in, I think it would help a lot.
I'm still anxious to see the results of this but with the bend, I think there will still be room for improvement.

Our bonnet is to low and we have the timing chain cover in the way
Making power, especially to redline, seems to be held in the plenum volume. Increasing the volume from the TB to the heads is where you'll find effective gains. If this plenum has increased volume in that area, it will make high RPM power. If it doesn't, my bet is that it will be comparable to current manifold options. If the runners are longer than stock and the volume is smaller than stock, expect to see losses and peak power being made below 6250rpm. I'm curious to know how much R&D was done with these key points in mind.
