Pity he closes it in with the plenum top!
Now fit some trumpets and that would look nice under the GT40 rear glass!

Very nicely done, but I doubt 372HP. Esp. at the wheels (even if that number meant anything).

Interesting set-up. Looks cool, but what is the benefit?
It is still a plenum system although with a fancy throttle.
I assume this has not got the benefit of the single throttle per cylinder as it still takes the air from the same plenum?
There must be a benefit in doing it like this, I just fail to see or understand it.
As for 372HP at the wheels, what is the engine spec? It must be something spectacular as most TVR 5 make about 100BHP less than that.

The plenum top doesn't have a butterfly in it so acts just like an airbox and the new throttle plates in each inlet means it now has independent
throttle bodies like the bike ones i had which is the ideal intake setup for n/a engines.

It has individual tb's but I don't see how they can be adjusted to each other. As anybody who has used tb's or multi carbs know if you cant adjust them to each other you can get a very rough tick over and an engine that sounds like an armadillo in a dustbin. This wont effect top power to any great degree but low rpm can be a real problem. Have spent many an hour with vacuum gauges tuning these things on bikes
