Epoxy in the Kegger

Basically, you decrease the plenum volume by filling in the top of the intake with a bunch of epoxy. The ideal way to do it is to shape the epoxy so that it also gets rid of any corners and rounds out the inside of your intake. The idea is to basically make the stock kegger intake into something more like a traditional intake manifold, where air is funneled directly into the runners immediatly rather then having to fill up a plenum volume first. This is how the airgaps, the M1, and the other non-plenum intakes are designed.
Personally, I think it is a good idea. I've also emailed with a guy who experimented on several intakes, and had dyno results that proved it worked. Long term however, what is the risk. Can you guarantee that your new intake design is getting sufficent air to every cylinder? Over time, you might start to see cylinders that are starving for air. Secondly, how long do you pray the epoxy will last in your intake before it starts to chunck apart and send pieces up a runner. A better way might be to weld an aluminum plate inside the plenum to do the same thing. I still worry about equalization of air though.
I've read threads where people said the performance was good, but until I see some long term analysis, i'd be leary to try it on any vehicle I depend on.

wait, so is that like another type of "Kegger mod" but it seems this one reduces air, i did the kegger intake mod, and the inside is hollow. would that be worse for it?>
