And sadly, this is typically what it boils down to. I know to most people you think, "oh just run, 10 units with a few extra bungs and remove the bungs on the runners, no big deal." To a machine shop, that sounds like 10 completely different units with different set-ups and different tool paths, which all costs money and time. We would also have to figure out fuel rails and how to hold the fuel rails to the top of the plenums. But, again, something I will look into and see if we can do it for a reasonable price. Maybe do a 5 unit group buy possibly? I'm all for helping out when I can but I doubt anyone would want to pay for a 5 digit priced intake manifold.

We used CFD on the individual components to maximize efficiency and reduce flow losses. This included bell horns, runners, and plenums. We do not know how to run an engine simulation where the valves open and close when they are suppose to (yet, we are working on learning how). Any other type of CFD wouldn't be very useful as it isn't indicative of a real world test in our opinion.
This is a case where we did our best with the tools we have available to us right now.
