Hahaha... I always heard of Tracy's simple intake manifold but never had seen the actual setup (except for zoomed out shots in Contact mag). Now I feel better as I move forward with my build :) Thanks for sharing Charlie!!!

Look at Tracy's setup. Might not be aesthetically beautiful to some eyes, but to me, function is beauty. I don't know of any N/A 2 rotor that's as fast as his -4, or as efficient at lower speeds. And really simple to make. Charlie Hope Tracy doesn't mind; here's a shot of the Renesis manifold. I believe that the tubes inside the 'box' were later extended to be near the opposite wall. IIRC, Tracy said that the tubes are ~11" from the face of the block to the end of the bellmouth. You can see old versions of the RWS website by using the Wayback Machine & picking a date. Charlie
