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.
that is one reason i make these out of a thick piece making it basically a billet piece
i wanted a strong point to clamp on

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  thumbs  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.  thumbs  up

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?
