Re: Frankenplenum
I like the idea of a twin plenum, dual TB Xram ala C6R.

Re: Frankenplenum
Hey Lee sorry it has been highjacked per se but your work has definitely been the inspiration and in my estimation is looking at a project from two different angles but ultimately chasing the same thing. I am very interested on how the frankenplenum will perform.

Re: Frankenplenum
Instead of plywood wouldn't it be better to mock it up out of foam? easier to work/sculpt with. I have no idea just putting it out there, I watch Velocity channel lol

Re: Frankenplenum
yes, foam would work great for shaping the transition sections and the plywood would be for the base amd throttle body flanges
the marine ply is amazing stuff the thin stuff I use for model airplanes you can bend into a tube. it would be strong enough to support the throttle bodies for fitting
