Spoon fed - That one sold for $600 since it was setup for 2 rails.

Boosted_b16 - I'm not sure if I fully understand what you mean. Are you talking about the end plate next to the last runner (opposite of the TB):? And are you wanting it dome shaped or something? I really don't understand, but am curious as to what your talking about and if there is any benefit to it or not. I've seen a lot of stock intakes like I think you're describing but thats mostly due to them being cast aluminum and round shapes are much easier to cast than sharp corners and edges.

Shanerv - the plenum is actually pretty thick. Schedule 40 aluminum. It allows me to tap the plenum itself for fittings and such anywhere I need them. Depending on the type of intake, I use various thicknesses as they are available and appropriate to use. The big chuncks are just solid billet that is machined. Everything is set up for press fit clearances so it makes it really easy to weld up and make sure that nothing moves while its being "tacked" in place.

Bigciv- I know what you mean, thats why I started making my own stuff. Too many companies have screwed me over in the past or just don't offer the parts or services that I want...so I started learning to do it myself. Keep building stuff in your spare time and helping your buddies out...you might start your own shop some day.
