The intake looks nothing like your sippy cup staw! If you research the design of the plenum then you will see how the design works. I’m sure vara didn’t spend millions of dollars and time molding and test for the product to in effective. It is obviously a 4inch inlet and outlet hold more air for starters. The inside creates a velocity stack . If there was any bad to guess the s/c is prob actually working now. As I was trying to explain the car was a little dud after the head swap in the low end. But now it’s back from a simple plenum change. Btw that gurgle has come back on the exhaust note. I’ve noticed some good pops on the start up has come back the little things that make people’s head go wtf is in that!

I'm done with this thread. It is quite clear you have zero intention to listen to what others have to say and very little knowledge about airflow.

Vararam did not spend millions of dollars testing it. They also didn't design it for your application, it is designed to be used in conjunction with their intake ducts. You don't need a velocity stack in a charge pipe, you need it before the compressor, if at all.

Plastic tubes also don’t create as much heat soak as with a metal tube but then again what do I know right you can’t be serious. Q-TIP

Your are right about the velocity stack there’s no need to have it inserted. Somewhere along the way I forgot to relay that.

WE CANT MAKE IT SPOOOL FASTER. 
! However you are able to the space in bxt for a draw which some are just no able to comprehend! Less lag more air at a better time ratio. This thing is virtually helping the impeller which makes the air turn spin whatever your choice of word is with less resistance! Leading again to more air to its destination sooner. Drafting its used in nascar the same theory could be placed in how your vehicle air flow to draw air up or be carried!

Anyways next time I have some free time to get my hands a little dirty. I have a 100mm maf going on. This as well should increase flow and allow for more fuel to used and a power result should happen as well. The idea of reverting back to a maf tune is kicking around.

Well I am and I am not. Here’s why. After I’ve unhooked the battery the maf tune will be enabled until of course it reaches its P0103 high frequency to much air . But during the small time I am able to stay within the hertz before it spikes out the engine does seem to perform with a noticeable power advantage over the sd tune. That’s the feel I’m getting. Also changing to a 100+ octane gas also made car run smoother.

So you're just maxing out the MAF and not hitting the airflow limit of 512 g/s or 67 lb/min or whatever? I'm pretty happy with my SD tune but MAF was definitely easier and woulda kept it if easily done on my case. SD forced me to do a good VE table finally lol.

I will post up on my tuning Thread ! But maf exceeded its limits at 10-15% tp !
