It makes me happy to think that an aftermarket plenum may one day be made available by a savvy member of the brotherhood that will give our cars even more umph.

My hood has chipping paint in the center, someone dropped the hood on something at some point, but I am keeping the stock hood

That's quite the set of exhaust headers on the Aurora.

You might have trouble fitting them into your ZR-1.... lol....

Keep up the Good Work Lee,

You can see the roof sat right on top of the runner

Would there be any advantage to extending the individual runners into the plenum, ala the LS series of intakes?

Or in adding the volume in the valley, after having removed A/C, relocated coils, removed secondary actuators, re-done PCV?

A lot of room under there, too bad you can't readily relocate the starter or alternator...

Hmmm,

Tacked a few 3/8 steel plates together, getting reading for the welder

Yes they are ugly welds

Plan will be to weld 1/2 X 1 inch flat stock or 1/2 X 1/2 square stock to the edge....then build a top with 1/2 inch stock, will need to check for clearance on the outer edge first
