SFR twin intake plenum

We just finished our prototype of a new intake plenum for the G and Z.It features velocity stacks,an airflow diverter plate on the inside,long runners,aluminum construction and lots of plenum volume as well as stock TB location.This intake will work well on N/A and FI applications.We will be doing some dyno testing very soon on my twin turbo Z with an N/A car coming soon after that.Now this is the prototype and we are going to revise the inlet slightly so keep this in mind.Enjoy.

Nice. My only suggestion would be to add a balance tube at the end of each bank connecting the two to balance the pressure. Basically wrap it around so that the front looks like the entry so that there isnt a "deadhead" at the end of each bank. Will help the low-mid torque alot.

We cant make the front like the rear because you wont be able to put your oil in and you wont be able to close your hood We are going to add a small balance tube on it though.This is something we have already planned for production.We are just debating about the best location for it from a performance and visual standpoint.

With matched headers, the right cams, and a UTEC to tune it all in, that intake could produce about the best NA setup out there. Add some NOX and whoa! You could approach some FI power levels for about half the cost.

Yes this is true but it has a different hood.With our plenum you can keep your stock hood.

Then run small (1/2") dia tubing connecting 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 down by the base flange. This will flatten the torque curve bigtime doing the same thing as balanced banks.
