What was the loss with the sheet matel intake?

We'll find out soon. I have to pack it up with a mile of bubble wrap and send it out for testing. The sims above suprised me a little. Granted, I did not account for the added flow from the fabricated manifold, I was only trying to account for the runner length. Maybe I'll try that today. ... Just tried it with zero flow loss on the fabricated manifold, and it made little difference. picked up the curve by about 1% VE, but still well behind the longer intake. Appears that wave tuning is more important that outright flow.
