Hi guys,

Do you think this will work?
http://www.podifold.com

It does look like it will avoid the current issues with the suck through kits.

I'm very tempted

Blow through carbs have their own set of problems.

But this type of set up allows intercooling and does not have fuel in the rotors, two big benefits.

Ultimately you would want to use this with a SPI set up to avoid having to stuff around with a pressurised carb or go whole hog and have twin injectors.

Go for it i say.

cheers

looks like a great idea, if you convert the price with the fitting kit it works out to $1035 for a bare manifold and fitting kit :shock:
then you have to buy supercharger, turbo plenum, turbo HIF44 as they are sealed.
tensioner kit for the belt, it would add up pretty quick.

dont knock me i like the idea it looks great but for $998 for a bare manifold its a bit dear.

would stop alot of the problems that the other kits have, also you could run more boost because you can run an intercooler.
