Yes, that would be the case. Just like an exhaust or turbo system or an intake, we will test these in the same fashion. As apples to apples as possible.

As an engine calibrator, the goal is to extract the most from the engine in a safe fashion. This would be the case with the OEM intake manifold, and this one.

Oh where, oh where
Has the intake gone?
Oh where, oh where can it be?
With the trumpets cut short
And the intake made long
Oh where, oh where can it be?
I think the torque low down
Will build the power up high
To get n/a over two hundred and three
And in his wallet
Was a credit card so bright
I wonder what the budget will be

Sigh.... how long does it take you to come up with these? I imagine at least a few hours!

Parts are beginning to come off the mill now. I'd show you, but then I'd have to kill you

. I'll have some updates Monday/maybe this weekend.

For now, this will have to do:

Fixture for the center section. This will help us retain near OEM fitment with a fabricated part.

Will there be an option for different coloured fuel rails besides green?

Transition into the plenum. I asked the machinist to get me these pieces first so I could spend the weekend welding the center section together for this prototype unit.
