Ok, well we are busy here, got 2.0L with our ported head and Twin Screw install, next we are doing another 2.4L SC kit, building a shortly header for our test car with the TS to take it to the track...and some secret stuff
As for cad drawings, we are trying to see if we can get a drawing of the manifold from GM, if not we'll just have to measure it all out. From there we can get some CAD designs.

Then begin to CAD design a plenum that mounts to the Supercharger and contains the Laminova cores. Make sure that you have adiquate volume pre and post cooler. Mate the plenum to 4 runners that are attached to the head via a flange.
Here are a few links to give you an idea:
These each have aspects of what you may want to use. Big Challenge is integrating the PCV and Recirc valves.
once you have a working mock up - test it out, tweak, test again. once ready, get your mock up to a company that does castings and they can figure out a way to mass produce it while sticking to tolerances.

Another nice laminova manifold:
Looked a bit closer to our manifold and the SC mounting. I think that for a good flowing manifold with nice runner length, the SC really should/must be relocated or at least mounted at a different angle...

we have taken the manifold off many times for different installs (turbo, TS, dual pass, etc) and we have a good idea of where everything is and where the mounting points are.
As we have mentioned in the original idea post, we want to use all stock mounting points except for the flange to head.
The company we worked with in the past didn't forward any information to us.
Reason we don't want to take anyone's money quite yet is due to low interest.
We are currently working on a few ideas and will post up some drawings.

I don't see how you can say that there is low interest on this "possible" product when you already know that the intake manifold is one of the major chokepoints in the way of making power. People have already expressed heavily in their interest, but your prior methods of business in the past is keeping people from just putting their money on the table.

I just took a new job in another part of the province, so I'll be moving at the end of Aug.
Needless to say, the shop is getting packed up and moved before I get too deep into the testing of this new system.

I've been staring at that image of the intake manifold for about 10 minutes and came up with something. I just talked to my coworker and his dads got a shop we could possibly make a mockup of a new manifold and possibly give it to one of you guys to use the idea. I have a huge interest in the LSJ as well as my L61 so id love to help you guys out. I've got quite a bit of time on my hands right now so i may throw this idea around.

I thought an external IC would save space... I was slightly mistaken.
