Thanks for the link Doug. Those are some great pictures. It's interesting to note that regardless of the various changes the performance didn't improve. I like the simplicity of the 5.0L throttle body for a butterfly.

 

Neil, I've liked the P-Port for some time but have wondered what percentage of projects are leaning that direction? No doubt it's the best performance solution and certainly the simplest intake system vs the multiple port configurations that have existed over the years. If there was enough interest this might be my best option for the initial development.

 

Charlie, I did a quick google search but didn't come up with too much in the way of data. I've got Tracy's book and will do some more internet searching as I go forward researching things.

 

Thanks for the input guys, it's greatly appreciated!

 

Jarrett

Bill Eslick has some of his intake manifold “trials and tribulations” posted on his web site  with pictures of his three different iterations if anyone needs some ideas.  I bought his 3rd Version from him a few years ago when he was installing a Lyco-saurus in his “6”.
