Comment, Hell! Put it on the engine and see what she does! {:>).  We are
certainly all very interested in the performance you achieve with it Bob.
Right now it looks like it should function well - but, you know, looks don't
always tell the story.  However, from what little I understand about intakes
it looks like it adheres to some fundamentals of using plenums to maintain a
higher air density for the inlets.\

Glad you got it - onward!!
