Thanks, Wendell
Let me put it on the aircraft and see what it does
performance wise, first. I flew today with the new prop and old manifold
to establish a baseline before I put on the new manifold in order to see what
"goodness" it has. Unfortunately, it was absolutely the worst day I have
flow, with wind gusts exceeding 30kts and highly variable. Turbulence all
the way to 7000 MSL, getting 1600 fpm climb at that altitude
without even pulling back on the stick - before I decided that this
just wasn't the day to establish a baseline.
I'll pick a better day early this week to get the
baseline, then swap in the new induction system and see what it does. By
the way, my engine is a "Plugs Up" orientation so the throttle body mount/plenum
would probably have to be redesigned to clear the cowl for folks with engines
with the normal automobile orientation.

Ed, great looking manifold, when are you going into production? I want
one.
