In this episode of Engine Masters, brought to you by AMSOIL, we explore how modifications to your intake manifold's plenum volume impact engine performance. We're investigating whether popular online theories about larger plenum volumes being necessary for high boost, big cubic inches, or elevated RPMs are valid. Will increasing the plenum size actually translate to more power, or will it just lead to issues with hood clearance? Join us as we push the boundaries, comparing everything from stock setups to extreme plenum volume alterations.
