how big is plenum volume?

is anyone running the Lindsey Racing intake manifold?

I think I will buy one of those next.
I don't have the time or resources to make one

I have driven 3 different 3L 8V cars using the Lindsey intake and I can vouch for it as a worthwhile upgrade to the stock intake, if all supporting mods have been done.

Contact Thom. User above your last post. In a nutshell it is thought that the LR one is mostly suited to motors designed to achieve power higher up in the rpm range. You would want a matching cam in my opinion. Again, talk to Thom as he has experience with intakes (inc the LR version) and cams.

Look here, Rod. There are more than a few of us quite taken with your project and you're just teasing us with a post here and there. Perhaps we feel connected (and contributors to your success??) just 'cause were RL mates. OK, maybe not. Nonetheless, how about getting a Sheila to document the project for us so you can keep doing what you do best? It's your obligation, really, to keep us in the loop with your outrageous build.

Are there others that might want to hear more from Rod?

It seems to not have any trumpets/velocity stacks inside? If so, it is worse than original one..

As for rod, I am not sure I want to hear too much about rod... You know the saying: knock-knock! Who is it? It's Rod! And bang! you have hole in the engine block...

But kidding aside, of course we want to hear from Rod about his incredible build!

I appreciate the interest guys, but other than what is in my thread

https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turb...f-a-thing.html

There is not a lot happening with my car, we have a few issues to deal with, but should have it on the dyno in a few weeks, we have a new housing to try. It's been a very draining project.

I went back and saw some old posts from you a few years back. Is this the same car from then? Did it ever run like it was?
Need more pics. Tight fit there.

Your intercooler is air/water?
