I may be way off base here, but looking at the intake manifold he has on the site for the 1g, I noticed the runners protrude about a 1/4" into the plenum. This may be ignorance, but wouldn't that disrupt airflow? Especially at higher RPM's. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It just seems that you would want something smoother, wouldn't you? It looks like it would trap some amount of air going in causing turbulance in the air that does make it down the runners.

Obviously I am not the smartest when it come to manifolds, that's why I'm asking this. To see what the experts think.
