Interesting stuff going on. There is a post on the "other board" I believe in the general section titled "interesting numbers". Richard Clark was flowing different intake manifold / plenum combos. They were using some science in their approach. They flowed a Hemco and it did very well. I don't know whether you venture over there or not but the results are very interesting, not conclusive but some ideas are coming to light. I'll chime in tomorrow with specifics that I thought after you have had an opportunity to see for yourself.

Found them....looks like the PP does what it is supposed to and would be good on the average car.   The Hemco flows a bit more and also does a good job.  Given the upside on really fast cars, someone needs to start casting them again :)

More interesting to me was the upside potential of the intakes themselves-again for really fast cars

There is a 9 cfm gap between 2 & 4. If I can reduce that gap by 4/5 cfm that will make my day (based on their testing). I asked if they flowed it with the egr tower in/out. If the tower was in that could fix my concern.

Hemco being gently worked. Lower being equalized. I did play around with all these findings from Richard Clark and #2 needs flow improvement. Do I believe my findings. No Way! Too much variability with the work of others. The proper way is to balance the manifolds (upper & lower ) as a system. Lots of data and long story. For building a pump gas only car equalizing the intake is definately a plus.
