Intake manifold floor...?

Post by stealth »

What kind of activity/importance is there on bbc intake plenum floor? Looking at running a spray bar on floor of intake?

I’m curious if there is any flow restriction or disturbances if mounted to plenum floor...

Opinions?

I assume you are talking about nitrous spry bar?
Spaying against the floor could hurt atomization, spraying up from the floor could hurt the signal to the carb causing a back fire.

I would set up the heads, intake and carb on the flow bench and spray nitrous only to see how it effects the flow through the carb and runner.

Actually water injection mist pointed down each port...

My concern is for the bar/ structure on the floor when not activated...would love to see wet flow video on manifold.
