Intake restriction on my freshly built NA engine ?
My car is on the stock (not flow tested) injectors,
I still have my original plenum, and had been considering doing a similar thing to Sasha (widen/smooth the neck), and an extra large spacer to see if that makes a difference over the Velocity.
I had considered trying to get the HR plenum and dual TB's to work as well (not sure it's possible with my Link G4+ and the Link E-throttle G4 device), although they have squared runners iirc.
And yep, lastly, it would be ITB's
Regarding the plenum. I believe high plenum volume helps you at low and mid range, low velocity of air. A good example of this is if you watch the video on youtube of the Aussie guy that now owns a GT300 Z33 with it's huge plenum. Nismo did this to give them a small boost of mid range torque coming out of corners. When that volume of air ran out, they were then going through restrictors that limited them to 300whp peak.
I think the big thing is getting smooth direct flow, rather than volume for top end. This is very difficult in the confines of the Z's engine bay/bonnet. If you went as far as getting a dry sump and used the height difference to drop the engine down (like the GT300 Z) then it might be a lot easier!
