RE: manifold machining

Yes, its a huge plenum.  The turbos are mounted directly above my
transaxle's bell housing, since it will be a mid-engine car, the usual
firewall clearance problem is not a problem, so the exhaust headers on the
V6 put the turbos above the bell, and about 7" or so of hose attach the
fresh air side of the turbos to the throttle bodies.  Because these other
dimensions are volumetrically smaller than most OEM cars, a larger plenum
should be okay, based on my understanding of Corky Bell's book.

The dodge is the opposite - the headers go forward past the pulleys, and the
turbos feed up over the pulleys into a forward facing plenum.  Also short
tubing, probably good for baking paint off my hood.

Wasn't inferring that at all.
Just I've seen up to 1.5x CID, but with the buick your up to 2.49.  Be
interesting to see what the calibration is like when finished.
