In all seriousness though, we will do our best to bring a great product to production once proven in prototype form. |

Healthy discussions are healthy.
As for tooling, that's the benefit of CNC machines. Individual changes can be made without having to completely throw out everything you have. Injection molding is a nightmare though. In the case of plastic plenums, aren't people already pushing 20+ psi? I @Reaper was pushing 19 on the stock everything. If anything, some prefer aluminum for aesthetics, but I do believe that all of the plastic-gonna-blow-up people just don't want to accept the truth. Material is only part of the equation. You have to understand how to properly implement it. I'm really only prodding you guys for what it's worth. Like I said, healthy discussion...

if thermal conductivity is an issue with metal, then why not just coat the outside with some form of insulation? Hell you could probably spray it with rubberized undercoating or something similar.

The minute I saw him put his hand near the chuck I thought the same damn thing. I had a friend get a finger torn off due to his glove getting grabbed by the piece he was working on and wrapped around it.

It does. For instant burts of "heated air" no the measurable temp of the Al doesnt increase. Over longer periods of throttle response the longer the air is flowing through he engine the longer the ambient temp of the air is in contact with the intake mani. Hence why aluminum (with its Q heat properties) was chosen. Cost vs heat dispursion.

Better than using "Upsadasium", the front end is light enough at speed.

If the grooves are just an aesthetic choice, can you ask the machinist to swap the radial machining on the outside for the interior vertical piping? I know you think it won't matter much, but my inner child's flow bench experience would feel more relieved to actually have a proper laminar orientation.

Sorry,I don't understand your question. You want the red arrow groves orientated like the black lines?
