That's fine, nobody has gotten theirs to me yet either.

I have some errands to run tomarrow afternoon in north Minneapolis. I could pick up a intake or two if anybody is ready and reasonably close to their. Just let me know.

95talonracer picked mine up on Friday. Just want to find out if you received it, and when you'll be finished with it.

I have been reading up on SMIM or intake manifold designs and now really interested in this.

I was wondering how you are testing the manifolds for air flow? Like are you running a couple of different types of airflow tests on them or just the general flow out of the manifold?

or did I miss a page where you explained this somewhere?

oh im sure he'll be using some formula 1 spreadsheets to find the optimal runner lengths using the Helmholtz resonance equations ;)

I will have 1 for you tonight, and another later this week. Do you want a stock 1g manifold?

Someone please answer my question so I know that my manifold isn't on ebay right now.

Sorry for no reply, I left my phone at work the other night!

I am doing the testing tomarrow afternoon, so I have planned on dropping off the next night, as I have to work during the day. If anybody needs it back Tuesday night, please let me know.

As far as how the testing will be done, I am simply going to use a flow bench, and test each runner on each manifold. This will show how evenly distributed the airflow is, as well as which manifold will support more power.

I also hope to document runner length, plenum volume, and whatever other design differences may impact performance.

I will hopefully post results Tuesday night, but I might hold off a day to put it in a PDF or somthing easily reposted else where.

Thanks again for the support!

I dropped them off and he has mine, yours, and Blageo's which is whos I brought down last Friday. I was going to ebay it but wanted to see whos was better first and post up the results with the ebay ad so the better one sold for more $$$$ ha just messing with ya!
