Gareth,
The ones we do have been designed on a flow bench, so I think you'd be silly to try and do your own, unless you have access to one of these and don't mind spending many hours getting the shape just right .

That plenum is a very nice example of well made Swedish engineering.I would calculate a guess that this item is capable of virtually unlimited brake horse power,on the assumption you build a big specced engine around it.Obviously a waste of valuable money on anything below a certain brake horse power.

Dingy - the chance of you getting that info out of Mike would be the same as Mike asking you about your/Karls inlet before it was revealed to the world
