Yes. And what we're calling a surge tank is really just the upper part of the intake runners.

Thanks for the reply's.
Nah, the intake is just a sponge filter that pulls air in from under the hood. There was a guy in Canada that had these same RENNtech coolers on his E55 back then and he had the same intake setup. Don't recall any documented drop in boost but REENtech said they produced 75hp on top end and that guy in Canada said they gave him just under 50hp, and his motor was stroked to 6.1L and had ported heads with larger valves and cams..

I remember reading that Canadian guys thread years ago before I got my E. I also recall movement from the needle of my bull**** detector

HAHA. Yeah, I never call those out, but I have a pretty sensitive detector myself.

Yeah, funny you said that because I remember he would become silent after request of further info about his crankshaft. I actually spoke to him on the phone and he gave me a heads up about Victor installing 55 N/A heads on my 55K and was selling them as 55K heads. So many jokers out there..
