this looks so much like a manifold i was thinking about making... only slight differences in the velocity stacks though... Good work!

i would have expected more of a hp gain and lose of tq. but you gained in both areas, very impressive. and gained alot in the area i thought would have accually gone down too. tq is where its at, congrats

Well I don't know if I did gain any hp or torque, I just moved the power to where I wanted it. Its always going to have a trade off, mid range for top end or vice versa. Its just a matter of where you want your power at.

wouldn't the TB make a difference also? I see you used 2 different TB's so it isn't just soley on the manifold alone.

just shifted the powerband down about 1200 rpm, nicely done!

yes Im sure the plenum was based around the throttle body size
