I'm away from the shop and can't post pics-yet..
DAMN does it look great! Brent and I worked all week on the air sealing tins to install it nice and tight into the engine bay. It is so easy to work on the engine with the DTM installed, no more 5 hour alternator changes- More like 30 minutes! It'll be finished 100% ON monday- You're gonna love it! |

I have a DTM sitting right here....A plenum would be a PITA.
Sure it could be done but I think for the most part it would make working in the bay a chore. Also how to do it with out hiding the beauty of the DTM and keeping the ease of working on the fan belt, alternator, etc. Personally I think the DTM is better suited for webers or IR TB's. A plenum is better suited for the stock cooling system. But then we never know what Jake will think of next. For an engine my size (2.6L+) I’ve decided to forget a plenum and go with IR TB’s. Both Jake and I are in agreement, a less aggressive cam would be needed for a plenum and for me that’s a step in the wrong direction. |
