Well what else are you doing to the car?


Unless you're doing a turbo upgrade and the whole engine, don't bother. No sense taking the whole upper end apart for some increased flow.

i agree with broke, unless you are taking apart some of your engine for some other reason, i wouldn't bother with the plenum. but it would give a nice look and increased flow, if you have the time and money and the urge to do it, go for it.

Its not worth it unless you're doing the whole engine.

My engine is out and I'm upgrading to 530BB turbos. So i'm getting the extrudahoned upper and lowers and ported exhaust manifold. Thats about 1200 right there. Not including core charges. Which reminds me...thats something...yeah...anyway...

As for the polished exterior plenums...well whatever floats your boat...everything else in the motor would have to be shined up or billet or whatever to make it look right.

that is true, if you are going to have a polished plenum, then you better make sure everything else is shiney in your engine.
