In this episode of Rob Dahm, the team dives headfirst into the intricate world of intake manifold design, with Ethan at the helm showcasing his design prowess. Welding the runners and manifold becomes a meticulous task, with bolts and heat management posing challenges. As they eye optimization for the triple turbocharged setup, Rob marvels at the mean look of the engine, emphasizing the need to stay ahead in the game.

The team faces hurdles with the middle runners, contemplating solutions like intercooler clamps to tackle potential issues. Reflecting on the design journey, they stress the importance of equal runners and address concerns regarding meth injection and reinforcement. Despite some warping in the welded manifold, plans for adjustments are in motion as they weigh and assess the component for minor inconsistencies.

Unboxing components from Aeromotive adds a new layer of excitement as they gear up for wiring tasks. A test of the WASP starter on the engine showcases its power, leaving the team impressed by its performance. As the episode unfolds, the team's dedication and attention to detail shine through, setting the stage for further advancements and challenges ahead in the realm of high-performance engineering.
