Cosworth Plenum FI/NA: Pics Inside!

They showed us pages and pages of data, flow charts, graphs, etc...that proves they REALLY did their research on this one. They went through 6 different design concepts, before settling on this one. Live testing was conducted on their in-house engine dyno. They claim 17hp improvement in top end power, with no trq loss on the midrange on a bone stock non-revup VQ35.
More importantly, the plenum is finally making power to redline. This thing should be a screamer, especially for the forced induction people, where power tends to drop off around 6500rpm or so. :thumbup:
Price is TBD, but they are targeting a sub $1500 price point. Cosworth has agreed to let us test one on our shop car (my car), once a cast production piece is ready in the next couple months. The unit on display, was a thin plastic prototype, and is not suitable for FI.
The carbon fiber caps, may or may not make the final cut. But it is my understanding, they want to allow tuners the option of modifing the velocity stacks for specific applications.
Comments or questions?

Don't know if people have looked into it but I'm looking forward to it.
