You and I have failed to get the power because we have experimented with our own solutions.   
 
For the record, I stole my intake design from Paul Conner, so I can always blame him :-) 
 
  I notice that there is the old theme of induction questions and interest coming up again.  (true, I am raising it too) and perhaps the time is right to join forces and come up with a bolt solution that will be available for all. 
It seems to me that an EDDIE target of 5500-6000rpm could be cobbled into a manifold that would be effective in the RV's and the Glastar and the Canards.  Perhaps I'm dreaming, but it seems all the talent is available. (not one single person mind you) and, if we can figure out how to actually have a joint effort that produces a working solution, beneficial to all, then we all leaped ahead in our experimentation..
 
Sounds good, but hopefully, it won't come to that.  I happen to know that there are talented folks already working on this, and they could be available sooner than you think (which is all I'm allowed to say).  If it will only fit my cowl...
 
Cheers,
Rusty (don't ask)
