Modding the stock intake manifold (Upper not lower)

I pretty much agree with everything you said. But this is a hobby for me. I drive this car daily. It's not going to set any records or win any competitions. Now if i was doing this to my race car, there would be some sort of testing being done...

Im not looking for more cfm or even more power from this. Im more concerned with having a smoother flow for (hopefully) a better power band throughout the rpm's. For instance, porting the TB dosnt really add much HP, but you get much more power lower in the rpm's without losing any power up top. And that has been tested and proven.

A lower HP car can be faster than a higher HP car. A nice powerband with a stong *average HP beats out peak power.

Yeah I know, and it's turning out to be more than a hobby for me now which is really cool.

True true, but I still wanna see some before and after numbers.

You my friend should understandf quite well (along with maybe only 4 other people) why I worked so hard getting these twins fuctioning properly. I'll take these over a 400 rwhp GT35R any day of the week and twice on trackdays
