X2 on that one! Personally I don't like the M1 because it moves the power band too far up in the rpm range for my liking. But that's just me.

Has anyone tried filling in the large void in the roof of the plenum with foam and then coating it with epoxy to cut down on the volume without restricting the flow of air to the runners? Also filling the corners where I understand there are high pressure areas?
I'm considering doing this myself after making a making a makeshift flowbench. Don't really know if it would be beneficial or not.
If not, I'll forget it and stick with the conventional mods.

Hughes has what they call Stage 1 and Stage 2 modified intakes. Stage 1 has the cut off flat edged runners recommended for basically stock engines and Stage 2 has the flat edge runners and the epoxy putty filled upper void with some porting of the runners recommended for modified engines.

Aww hell, modifying intakes and even runners with epoxy is old hat. Guys been doing it for years without problems. My worse case wasn't epoxy at all, but an intake man. bolt left in the manifold when they assembled the engine. Had 69 miles on a new '75 Dodge PU. with a slant six and had to have it towed back to the dealer. Damn bolt got under an intake valve.
