WOOOOOW!!!! Looking pretty awesome...thanks for the pic Goth
Wouldn't it be cool is the airbox covers were plexi so you could see the stacks and look down past butterflies at the valves?
We'll I am definitely NOT an engineer by any stretch of the imagination....but, I call the 360 intake "having your cake and eating it too". As I have stated in previous post that the "bypass exhaust" on the 355 is NOT the way to increase low end torque....rather it is best achieved thru the cams and intake. Basically you have two different runner lenths[one(longer) for lower rpms and one(shorter) for higher rpms] for each cylinder....this is more for driveability because it produces a wider power band. Does this design make the pressure more balanced for each cylinder????...if so this means that everyone of the individual cylinders will operate more evenly and with greater efficiency comes more hp??????? All of this means nothing without real world dyno figures.
That makes sense and confirms what I was thinking, since the 430 went to basic individual stacks per cylinder and one throttle body per bank. The 430 seems to have only the 'crossover'... with some kind of actuator. I only have .bmp's here at work and can't load them Plugz and bcw !!! You guys are 'both' on to me !!! Those headers???? Guess hmmmmmm ?????
Those headers look nice...but no heatshield....maybe weld some mounting flanges to hdr and attach some removable insul. heat deflector shields.
OK...you make and I will install..lol. I wouldn't even know where to start......btw I don't want a big pile of melted plastic going into the engine... BUUUUTTTTT, since this intake w/plenums is about as high as a 3 story building you'll definitely be seeing alot of it in your rear view mirror.....might have to put a rear view camera in like the Lambo's....wow!!
Actually I purchased a set of "factory" 360 headers (with heatsheilds ). They are in the mail as we speak .
Lets' see now.....looking all over for 360 exhaust....and now you tell me you bought some....hmmmm....imagine that...lol OK, get to work and take alot of pics for me and of course you know who..PAP
Does this mean I will be chained to the computer and making 1,000 post per day on your behalf to Fchat so you can be a biggie like PAP348???...lol
Really need some expert techy help.....the 360 Michelotto intake appears to have no air flow meters..(no where).......I do not understand this...are they relying on premapped data stored somewhere in the ecu?????? Another puzzler is the aluminum tubes from air box to TB are like a megaphone with small opening at air box and larger opening connecting to TB...WTF is up here....does this restriction then expansion cool the intake air??....even if it does wouldn't this restriction go against what is the norm for a high reving/hp normally aspirated engine. Forget asking anything technical like this in the 360/430 forum....they have trouble figuring out what the options are on the window sticker...lol
Sounds interesting post some pics of this 360 Michelotto intake! LOL In comparison, there are definately more "hands on guys" in this section IMO .

The long aluminum tubes are transitions from the regulation-size opening. There is a maximum legal intake diameter - which is small compared to the stock opening. There is a "bellmouth" at the inlet of each one of those shiny tubes. It's hidden by the airbox, but it's in there. At some point in the rev range airflow is choked and no more can get to the engine, so power is limited. Don't copy this desiign unless you like limiting your power to an old set of racing rules.
