I must say the "yet to be named" and "REEF Race" look pretty similar.
I'm not gonna lie, I really liked some of the things he did with his design. Especially in the plenum. It was the simplest solution I had seen, as well as required the least welding. Since that is one of the few things we don't do in house, it was an appealing plan.

The R.E.E.F. and this one look very similar, but internally, they are quite different. Dimensionally, they are different as well both internally and externally. Our manufacturing method is also worlds apart! We spent alot of time (6 months easily) just tweaking little things to get airflow exactly where we wanted it at varying loads.

Thank you. I went through a polishing faze! However, I wasn't able to do this myself with the equipment I had, so I sent it down south ot a guy that does show car and Harley stuff. He did amazing work, although I paid for it dearly!
