Understood Bob, I can agree that the same thing gets old after a while If I am able to take what you can teach us and be able to apply it, it would be a wonderful thing.

This has the makings of the undergrads and grad students whose job it was to follow Einstein around the halls of Princeton and write down whatever he said

What I'm saying Bob is that if you don't wan to make a business outta doing these NA engines, maybe Tom would want to work with you and make it easier on you... Like he said, you are doing things with the engine that I was dreaming about 5 years ago, but had no idea of how to get there... Now I see that it might actually be a reality ~ Chris

That'd be a horrible name, because then all of tom's creations would go from TomStock to TomBobStock... Try saying that fast 3 times!

Thats a good name... The catch phrase can be... If it doesn't work.... it'll blow the hell up!!! And our warranty claim will be "If you break it in half, you get two halves"

No, No, No Tom. It will last you all your life i.e. good until you are in entombed. More your style.

Re: Phase 2: Looking for 380 N/A whp.
It's a dormant project. Money is tight, the economy has hurt my friend's business, so there's no way he can dump +$10k into an engine project right now. And I certainly can't afford to bankroll this project myself. However the entire engine, cooling system, induction system, drysump, etc...is already figured out and 'built' inside my head. Just need cash to proceed.

Do you have any pics of the air intake on your impreza? Did shortening the intake provide good gains?

Re: Phase 2: Looking for 380 N/A whp.
Nevermind, I found your flikr! So, what type of power gains do you feel were gained from the shortened intake with cold/forced induction. I am considering a setup within a housing mounted on top of the hood of my svx. I happen to have an extra hood lying around to play with (whole extra car actually). Figuring out where the maf will go is obviously my biggest problem, but I have a few ideas.
I plan on at least cleaning my donor cars intake manifold and maybe doing sone home brew port/polishing to go alobg with the intake. I currently have the stock intake until the filter box, inside the fender I have an extended intake tube sticking through the bottom thin pkastic part of the fender for cold/forced air. I have a tendnecy to pick up a ton or dirt and rocks down there though and once caught it on a puppy (which was somehow just fine!) Going 30mph to have it jack up the bottom of the fender (again, very thin plastic). Anyways, I always liked a good hood scoop, worth it in your opinion?
