4 pages and not one person brought up the part that when you go WOT there is now MORE air initially being stored up AFTER the T.B.
I would have to think this is a good thing. As a matter of fact I am almost positive.

Do you think that the 3psi increase in boost is just at initial tip in, or would the more boost stay constant.
Its like you have all this stored air, but you are using it up faster than you can supply it. I would think that the gain would be just from the intial WOT and then would start to deminish.
not that it would be a bad thing.

If you have ever used a pneumatic air tool, you know that the impact gun or air ratchet has more power thru a 1/2 inch hose vs a 3/8 inch hose. Both have the same fittings on the compressor,hose and tool. The fittings (Throttlebody in our case) are not the bottleneck, its the small hose. (Plenum in our case)
Now we have Cheerleaders starting other threads on this board without even understanding the way it works. (RTKILLA this comment is in no way directed towards you)
Like I said in my 1st post the Vendor Wars are starting to begin.

Oh I know its not directed towards me cause I just asked an honest question and your answer was pretty good now that I think about my experiences in that department to with air hoses and hydraulic lines on our heavy equipment too. Makes sense but I think if where going to go threw all the trouble to make upper plenum then lets make a bigger TB too you know,

Not to interrupt any cussing and discussing, but the level of pressure drop created by a restriction is directly proportional to its length. You would get more flow through 49.5 ft of 1/2" water hose with a 0.5 ft 1/4" restrictor on it than you will get with a 50 ft of 1/4" hose. Restrictions are cumulative. Removing the restrictive adapter plate also allows air easier access to the rotors where it can then be compressed. It also allows the blower to work as designed. The adapter plate was develped to allow use of stock upper plenum, not maximum airflow. Any restriction on the inflow (suction) side of the blower has more pronounced effect than restriction on the discharge side.
Just had a similar intake made for the KB on my 94 stang. Strictly Performance is also sporting one on his KB Cobra as well as a few other tricks.

I'm just curious, "as others are", "if" this is Thee Prototype, or the Finished product. Your right, it's an aweosme weld job, i was not saying anything other than that schitt stirrer...

I talked to John this morning. He said he had an eaton version in the works and he was a month or so away from having the KB version ready for sale...
I personally like the "business" look of that intake. It says "holy *****, that ain't stock!". And I like that.

ANS: Yes it does
However, the larger opening will reduce the restriction allowing a higher volume of air.
