We are dealing with airmass. Airmass is power. Flow characeristics mutate subtly as pressure/density changes, but for the most part plenum size dictates efficiency at a given power level. If you know your desired power level you can dictate plenum size for best efficiency. Not that I care about efficiency one whit, but it goes hand in hand with balanced flow between cylinders.

Re: intake manifold design?
I've only seen one of their IMs, and it was a much more modestly sized sheet metal unit off of T-bone's old setup, 10 second NA streetcar style.
All I've been told about some of those big plenum units is they cover up the details of what's actually inside, and javier geek is a combo of brilliant and very shady - I'd worry about trusting money to him unless you were a Big Name Ricer whose car he wanted a JG sticker on.

come on what could be so secretive about it, since all the other companies are shuowing their IM in plain sight, plenum shape and all for the world to behold?

It's a market driven economy based on LIES to sell product, which works because most people just buy car parts to be "cool." For the seven of us Honduh owners in the world who like to actually go fast it gets very secretive.
