7. System Design: Helmholtz Resonance Calculations
System idealization was 10,000 RPM for Primary Tuning Peak
Results yielded 3 tuning peaks:
Primary Tuning Peak = RPM
Helmholtz Tuning Peak =11,704 RPM
Helmholtz Tuning Peak = 2021 RPM

9. Intake Manifold Design: Materials Analysis
Fiberglass:
Hand-lain in one piece (in house)
Cost effective for cost report
Will still require aluminum parts to be machined separately
Aluminum:
Machined in house
Easily machined
Time consuming fabrication process
