I've seen the Porsche and held many of the pre production castings but I don't think I ever saw a tubular Duratech intake. I do know exactly who made the production castings though. It really isn't that hard to cut apart an intake, make minor changes like we are talking here and weld it all back together. There are many shops/people here in Detroit that would gladly do it for a price. I don't think I really want to go through the expense and dyno tuning that's necessary for it, but I would gladly contribute my intake knowledge and sources.

So this sounds like a golf ball design as well Terry Dan- the 80mm has a huoooge sampling tube in the center. I just got my pro-m tonight when I got home and it looks much more efficient. I have a dyno at 9am tomorrow to find out. We have a meet this Saturday so I will need to get some pics of all my new toys. PM me a mod list Dan and I'll let you know how we compare.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

I should have a working spacer prototype made up and installed within a week. I'll start with a .25 thick AL plate and post pics when done.

Forgive my naiveté, and I may be WAAY off here, but would a twin TB and hogged out IM inlet help to soften the "dead head" effect? Granted, it's probably more costly than a spacer/divider setup, but could this be an adaptable solution?

Hey Terry, If you're absolutely STRAPPED for a guinea pig car (lol...yeah, right) I'll gladly test your twin TB setup! With all the SNOW and freakishly cold conditions right now in MI, I think you need a test subject in sunny Southern California!  - you know, with year round mid 70 degree weather, we have the ability to take it for for extended runs you know, to gather data, and stuff... :p
