Injected had one part but the stock plenum's "neck" still bottle-necks it.
Ya, I'm thinking about something more along the lines of this for a twin throttle body setup.

there are prototype units out there that I know of, and from what I've heard so far, everyone is absolutely stoked about it. So far, the 2 cars I know of were both forced induction setups. I'm eager to try it out on my car, but maybe someone will leak some NA results beforehand

anyway here is a pic

Thanks for the pic!!! That's the first time I've seen anyone running without the coolant bypass hose across the front of the motor, and it's boosted. Very interesting.

Thanks for the pic. Looks like a JWT TT with a GTM CAI. Guess we know who's got that one, eh?

Any word on what the gains actually were on that setup?

I just modified my thermostat housing to eliminate my bypass to the side of the block and have it pass through where the oil cooler once entered but my bypass is coming from a -6an fitting that will be on the radiator end tank. This way the bypass is cooled water instead of hot which will slow down warm up but improve cooling efficiency.

Yeah but those few souls that have them should do everyone a favor and do a before and after test. Lets hope for the best. It sure does clean up the engine bay quite a bit.

Reading/interpreting your post, it looks like this picture is of your car.

What can you tell us about the new Cosworth plenum?

Can the upper stress bar still be used? Both pics of it installed; I see no stress bar on those Z's.

Last we had heard, they were shipping to Forged on the 7th. I guess they are shipping them via boat through the Panama Canal.
