Upper VICS Mod for turbo cars.

Blaen: That's what everyone wants to see on the squaretop too, what kinda boost you making?
I also kinda wish we had a stock, unmodified plenum on an intake with the only work being the hump removal.. But would it be so hard to line drill the long runners and install some butterflies? Like, right at the start of the long runners maybe a half inch in on the bottom section?

This is pretty much what I meant, add in a second butterfly and remove the wall blocking off the shorter runners. Obviously the second runner would need to go wherever it fits best. Assuming the performance wasn't asstastic you could fine-tune the performance by putting spacers between the manifold top/bottom and the manifold and the head. Pretty sure this is what Brain was talking about too.

you don't need a second set of valves, if you open a shorter path, the air will flow that way.
of all the ones above, I'm betting the "gutted", if the VICS valve is used, proves the best results.
Super long runners for low-rpm torque, and then short runners above XRPM for high-rpm torque.

I've got someone that may be willing to provide a Honda manifold as well for testing purposes.
I'm going to send out a call 2 weeks before my tuning session for all the IMs for people that have PM'd me, except for Pinky. (I'm going to use Pinky's IM flagrantly for figuring out the best way to swap IMs on the dyno the fastest/easiest.)
If you want yours included, please PM me. I'm still looking for a flat top and a VTCS if someone would be so kind.

I've got a VCTS manifold off a '04 MSM with the VCTS butterflies removed and holes epoxied that I can send for testing as well, but I'll definitely need it back. Want me to throw it in the box along with the modified VICS one we talked about?
