That one complaint I have about my Rcc Plenum...the spigot is too thin,if you tighten the clamp to much it crushes them. Looks good Chris.

I think it looks great, I like the tabs you have for straps..
One bitch about my rcc stage 2 plenum, is the side bolt holes pulled out the threads.
The tubes are easily ovaled and I wish mine were thicker as well.

I know, I know.... You're still on a 4 lb spring. Don;t worry Bobby, some day You will get the balls to turn it up We used to blow off up-pipes and kept tghtening, switched to T-Bolt adn tightened some more.....then took off the pipe, straightened the mangled up mess and welded a bead around it and went back to regulay ole hose clamps. No leaks and no issues. Th eplanum spigots are kind of pain though... |

Nice work Chris. Surprised you didn't make it out of sheet metal so you could use a MIG Welder on it......LOL Do you know the volume of the Plenum? You know it should always be 50-70% of the motor4 volume/displacement, right. But yours looks about right. |

Really, that big!!! Cool. It's good you know what you are doing, I laugh when I see a Mr. Turbo or Hauhn plenum, just not up to the task, well not doing it right.
So is the dam CNC up and running yet?
