You know how it goes. Sometimes the gains out weigh the losses!.

Yes indeed, I peeked in this thread because I was curious if there would be a discussion of any value on runner shape. I've been working on a intake as of late and I'm sticking with square runners, from what I've understood it will be what works best for what I'm working on. Which is moving as much air as I can as efficiently as can in a given space.

Not one you can purchase it from but if you need it I could arrange something for you!

Great thread. For the last 3 years I have been kicking around the idea of building/having built a sheet metal intake manifold. I think a lot of gains can be had in terms of top end performance, airflow distribution between rotors, and weight. In addition I think sheet metal manifolds let more induction noise come through than the cast OEM units. Now someone figure out how to make one for $50

all of the rotary guys that are looking for the extra power like abel and mazfix know that the square runners are better when it comes to making the big power and having the extra edge. v8 kila is fast but would run better with one of those setups.

It's fast enough and faster just a click away. Plus there's a difference between fast and quick. Sometimes you gotta strike a medium. Some of us do it the old fashion way through trial and error instead of copying a combination that you hope will work. If I were to copy at least I have the common sence to follow the true leaders!

I need a high output alternator. The one in the car is broken again so a stock one is back in and it's dropping voltage at high load back to 12v.
Siguel is on the line driving Nayelis. 7.90@157mph letting off.
There're a lot of good cars at the track tonight.

Can't compare . Too many changes in the combination.
Have not put it back on the dyno. Still messing with the tune up on the street. Gotta slowly creep up with this fuel. No experience with the limit on a rotary application. It's at 18 psi presently.

Seems like the track is not working. Everyone is letting off after the 1/8th.
They are checking the track.
