So... I figured I should update this thread.

I'm currently going through design iterations of a new intake. As it stands I have balanced the runners with plenum geometry.

Some pointers to keep in mind when doing this yourself:
  • Plenum Geometry is very important with flow distribution to the runners
  • Hemholtz equation is useful for understanding the ideal length for a specific RPM
  • Plenum volume is important under natural aspiration criteria and less so in forced induction.
  • Slowing the intake charge once into the plenum will result in more uniform flow distribution of the runners.
