I have had my car running for a few weeks now. To me it feels great, to my friends the car feels crazy. Mid range feels the same as it always has, past 5000 the car pulls like a train. Even though I made a few changes to the motor, the basic setup is the exact same. At the same boost pre-build the car did not pull this well.

No the throttle body is never bigger than the plenum, it just looks that way. The tapering mani starts at the same size as the throttle body opening and then gets larger. The round style is larger altogether but also uses a hemisphere to help the transition so there are no sharp corners.

From what people have dynoed the honda types, it seems that it helped the mid rang. you could expect more gains from a mani with velocity stacks, in fact I have not even sold 1 with out the velocity stacks. I honestly dont think there would be much difference in gains between my $300 model and the honda mani exept that I can change where it is most efficient. Thats why I offer to do the honda ones as well, its no problem for me to weld them up, and it seems like the good choice for marginal gains at a fairly low cost. Of course if you are going for big power, or want something that is specific to your set up you need something else, thats where my higher end stuff comes into play.
