This pic sort of shows how the length of the runners is lengthened and shortened by the power valve operation.

Very well done, Jime!

This is one of the best self mods with pics and diagrams I've seen in a long while.

Thanks for being the pioneer!

Well got my cams a couple of hours ago so I am installing them now and hope to finish this weekend. Because I have to put the engine in outside I am waiting until the following weekend to install the engine and trans its supposed to go above freezing for a couple of days. Gotta love the great white north.

Will keep you guys posted on how the intake manifold works out if your interested.

Here is another pic of the intake from another angle which may help. The black circle is approximately where the butterfly of the power valve was located.

PS Although I'd love to take credit, the mod was described to me over the telephone by Tilleys99 of maxima.org who is the pioneer of the 3.5 swap. He did his a couple of weeks ago.

if you break up the even flow wont it make the engine run rough since the power of each cylinder might be affected?

Hopefully we will launch group buy in 2 weeks, with first batch shipping 2 weeks after that
almost 3 weeks ago...so can we expect a group buy anytime soon?
