    Arnoud Van de Veendomk from dutchlist is doing his own improvements on the
    standard 2,25 petrol intake manifold.
    Since the subject has come by at this list, he (and I) would liked to hear
    this list comments.

    The aim is to improve 10 - 20% on power/efficiency. The biggets problem
    until now was the casting of the manifold. But the next appoach is
    suggested.
    - make prototype of Polyester, wound on a wax or plaster core.
    a first try has been done with a plastercore on a PUR-shape.
    then a 'cibatool' cast to make more then one.

    A small 3-axis CNC machine linked with Pro/Engineer is on hand (at work) to
    make the different shapes

    To look at the design (3D view) :

    also nice LR 88 SW pin-up there.

    any comment or ideas are welkome, gr JOS
