Is this the old John Hennessey intake I have heard about?

John, was it yours?

I have seen this same one for sale on about 10 different site already.

Sorry but I bought that Hennessey intake that was on John's old web page. John can attest to that. Still have it. This winter we plan on adapting it to a twin Turbo system

Twin Turbo you say :idea:

Good luck with your new system. :thumb:

Mike do you know anything about this one then?

I have seen pics of this one all over the net.

For some reason I thought it was the Hennessey one. My bad.

Mike has an older intake design. The one in the mrnitrous website, is a more recent design. We changed it and went to a single 90 mm throttle body instead of 2 70 mm's.

Still have not tested it. With the power we are getting from the TT system, we dont need a short runner intake.

John do you find a larger plenum volume better suited to the Twin Turbo setup?

Or is a smaller plenum volume not that bad off?

 

[John Hennessey]

Shorty intakes would do well if you were turning the motor up to 7000 rpm, but you really need a dry sump to do that.

Forced induction crams the air thru the stock intake just fine. We got 907 rw hp sae on just 10 psi of boost. I know that sounds like the standard racer bs like "i got 500 hp from a 50 shot". But I thought we would get 800 rw hp on 10 psi and that would impress me. I was shocked to see over 900 rw on such small boost.

So the stock intake aint too bad in my opinion. We hope to see how the intake does on a bit more boost.

Thanks John

I never could understand how plenum volume had anything to do with how much hp and tq a forced induction car made.

It is all getting forced in anyway. I would think that intake flow rates have a hell of alot more to do with it than volume. Or am I way off base here?

Runner length has a great effect on what rpm power is made. Certainly NA motors are much more effected by intake design.
