Well, that was pretty damn cool! I started laughing when his finger started fluttering....
don't know why. Just got a chuckle out of it. |

And that is how you learn how things "really" work and the effects of various modifications. Used to be called, "cut and try". VERY LITTLE of this type of research being done today. It's expensive and time consuming. Much easier to sit behind a keyboard and speculate. One of the reasons I had tremendous respect for guys like Joe Mondello. He took seemingly ridiculous ideas like dimpling, (talked about in another thread), and actually did meaningful testing, both wet and dry flow. Computer simulations are great tools and save time and money, but at some point the idea has to be proven. For a street driven Tunnel Ram, the V plenum is almost a requirement IMO.
One of the driving factors in deciding to buy one of these bathtub intakes is Tom had a 3D model made of the intake. He bolted it on his street car and drove the hell out of it. He reported great street manners. So now we have the coolest looking factory intake ever made and it can be driven to a car show. |

I wondered how the Pontiac engineers designed the original heads,ports and combustion chambers? Math getting direction or let's try this or a combination. Then onto the high performance race heads. Were the original designers involved?

plenum design that was cast into the 3rd design. We thought we might need the "stub plates" under the carbs but after a bunch of testing found they were not needed. I did nothing on the Larry W intakes. Tom V.

My point exactly, is that testing to see if a new idea works on the road and around the neighborhood is just that, should have been tested drag racing and oval track for duration, then once the bugs were weeded out you can go on to the final production. This valuable procedure has gotten me through each and every hurdle that I have come across in my build. |

There Engineers sat around the ovel office table in the white house and formed a think tank holding hands singing in their minds, OfCourse, they compiled all the information they could gather to came up with a viable solution...at least I raised a reasonable question. |

Nice example in real time where one can view the results and, in this case, feel them, good find. |

Okay then, let’s refer to the subsequent thread regarding this intake for further updates:
