I'm not a fan of those two big bumps in the middle of the plenum.

Yeah that has to disrupt air flow BUT he did say that it was sanded down later for a smooth underside. That would look so sick with a CF Z tube and CF batter covers.

It is interesting, and he said he would be in Florida sometime. But I wonder about overtime the durability of it.

Nice plenum but he needs to run some serious cycles before putting it out

looks like that plenum has the outer surface carbon, then the rest is chopped strand fiberglass. this a very cheap method of building a composite part.
