Default According to Mark.....

This contraption is the final piece in the jigsaw & 9 years of Development of my car are over. Think Mark may have used all the Blank cheques i gave him .
Off to Brunters to see what a potential 850+bhp can do, then 3 more events & then the car & myself will retire.
Like to thank Mark for creating this incredible machine & may the times it sets cause a few head aches in the Future.

THANKS MARK !!

Cars looking good rod.

Why does everyone else run a new inlet manifold when seeking big power when Rod and Mark can get 850bhp thru what looks (excuse me if I am wrong) like a standard inlet manifold?

Ima,

Other than the fact it has four extra injector mounts is it vastly different to improve flow?

Steven YES...just look at the elbow and increased plenum size far superior to the other production types.

Swedish plenum would be good for more BHP imo although never needed on a YB....its just the cash difference and bling factor

Steven,

I think the inlet manifold runs a spacer, but it certainly does the trick.

Well if this breather system has sorted out the problem it's not over the top, It's what was required.
