Bumps inmanifold?
Hello, I noticed a couple of small dings in the front right manifold that hooks up to the plenum. What is this caused by?

anything that comes in contact to create a ding such as tools(most common) or high velocity when you accelerate too fast it is actually self imploding.

It seems to be more common than not that TPI systems get dinged up. Unless it actually hinders the air flow, I wouldn't worry about it, unless you are concerned about the cosmetics of it.

Actually, that's why I'm going to the LT1 intake, I'm worried that my 350 will just crush my runners. The LT1 intake is a lot stronger in that sense, so its not something I'll have to worry about. :lala: :lala:

Self Imploding?!?!?! I find that a little hard to picture. What have you seen/done/heard that you say they can implode?

with the very restrictive plenum and the engine trying to suck in soo much air, it starts pulling in the runners creating those dings you see.
stupid cheap aluminum.

No offense intended Travis, but that was pretty funny. You made my whole day with that
