In this thrilling episode of Rob Dahm's automotive escapades, the team embarks on a mission to transform an engine into a powerhouse fit for a special project. With a keen eye for detail, they crank up the pressure to over 35 PSI, unveiling leaks through a dramatic display of smoke. The intake manifold undergoes a meticulous flattening process using a unique fly cutter, showcasing the team's dedication to perfection. As they tackle challenges head-on, a stone is skillfully employed to further refine the manifold, ensuring top-notch performance.

Amidst the chaos, a revelation strikes as the intake manifold is deemed beyond repair, prompting innovative solutions from the team. Enter a mass airflow sensor on a stick, a clever tool used to test airflow consistency with precision. The introduction of leaf blowers adds a competitive edge, as the team engages in a spirited contest to determine the most efficient airflow mover. Welding modifications to the manifold bring about significant changes, setting the stage for a dynamic airflow testing session.

With a blend of ingenuity and expertise, the team delves into the intricacies of airflow dynamics, uncovering discrepancies in the intake runners. Through meticulous adjustments and welding wizardry, the airflow is fine-tuned to perfection, paving the way for a promising dyno test. As the dust settles, the team stands proud, knowing that their efforts have elevated the intake manifold to a new level of performance. The stage is set for the ultimate test on the dyno, where the true capabilities of their creation will be put to the test.
