Well here is the beta version of my new intake manifold. I need to modify the plenum a decent amount and the runners slightly but it is getting close. Figured I would share it for everyone:

I will be hopefully making the second version shortly and testing it out. Once I get the design the way I want it I will post up the results of how it performs compared to the Magnus sheetmetal and the Stock Manifold. I dont have one of AMS' or the HKS one so I cant compare it to those but this design is actually using CFD modelling for thermal dynamics as well as flow so it should technically be about as good as you could get within reason and simple design concepts and to ensure it will bolt up without a bunch of new piping or throttlebodies.
Again this one is just a simple test idea so nothing on this one is the exact way I want it but once done I will be able to make manifolds that are designed for different peak TQs without much changing. I will also be able to put on whatever type of throttlebody flange I want.
