Some other interesting side note of some stats:

My Evo Design:

Mass flow rate [lb/s] = 1.00004
Velocity [ft/s] = 780.871
Density [lb/ft^3] = 0.0825724

XXX DSM Design:

Mass flow rate [lb/s] = 0.999985
Velocity [ft/s] = 537.145
Density [lb/ft^3] = 0.0778011


Even though there is slightly more pressure drop on my Evo manifold it still outflows by keeping the velocity much higher.

I am now in the final stages of design for the manifold so I am hoping to have the mold made sometime next week if all is well. This is where I am just going to put in all the little extras for free. I am open to suggestions on what people would want as well. Now is the time to give me your input on what features you guys would like... this is what I am planning on to start with:

- Almost stock position for the throttlebody (No need to make new pipes or modify yours).

-Stock fuel rail mounts

-Place to easily bolt on your throttle cable

-Aftermarket additional fuel rail mounts with 4 recessed places to drill if you want to add 4 more injectors (I will have the larger spot already in place for the o-rings then the middle holes will just be indented and I will get the right sized drill bit so all you need to do is drill out the smaller hole, get 4 injectors and another fuel rail and your good to go).

-4 bungs ready to be drilled and tapped if you want to add nitrous (Perhaps we will offer this as an option to have us drill and tap them for you).

-Design capable of supporting well over 100psi sustained and make it sturdy enough to withstand short bursts of extremely high pressure (Nitrous backfires, normal backfires, stuck BOVs, etc..)

-Three normal vacuum nipples and one larger one for the brake booster. I will try to get the brake booster nipple as close as possible to make sure the line doesnt look stupid.

-Obviously needs to make power

Some other things I was thinking about it is making it so we weld on the throttlebody flange so you can decide if you want it made for the stock throttlebody or some other one. I havent decided this for sure yet. Otherwise I will make sure it is large enough where you could cut off the throttlebody flange and get a new one welded on.

The runner side flange will be made like stock so you can port match it with whatever head modifications you do. I was going to make it with a few different versions but then realized that many people have custom ported heads in which we could never get the correct sizes and no matter what they would still need to be ported to match the head. This way we will just leave enough room to port it so match any reasonable headwork.

Any other ideas or suggestions are great to have. As I said earlier, I will be hopefully making the first prototype sometime next week. Seems like every week is next week but hopefully this time is real
