Silva,

I dont doubt that Demon knows his stuff... I just want to have a discussion about this with him, nothing wrong with that.

Demon,

I know that by looking at the plates head on the surface area is the same. I never took any classes in fluid dynamics or airflow stuff, but I would just think that the large flat area that the air travels over cant be that great, or at least not as good as a severall mm thick bar.

I wonder how we could prove which allows more air to flow? Would you just have to monitor with an OBD-II scan tool on the MAF? I guess you could hook the entire assemble (UIM, LIM and HEADS to a flow bench and see which setup flows more air.... food for thought...

Anyways, like i said, as soon as I can get my hands on a second LIM, I wil more than likely do this mod and see how it affects HP on a dyno and track times. No one else seems to be in a hurry to find a dyno to prove to the rest of us this mod really helps....
