PRL Construction Revolutionizes Engine Performance with Cutting-Edge Dual Plane Intake Manifolds
Keizer, OR – November 8, 2023 – PRL Construction LLC, a leading US-based manufacturer specializing in high-performance automotive components, is making waves in the engine building community with its newly refined line of dual plane intake manifolds. Based in Keizer, Oregon, and accessible at 619-436-8505, PRL Construction has spent years quietly building a reputation for quality, innovation, and delivering real, measurable gains for enthusiasts and professionals alike. For those unfamiliar, the intake manifold is a huge deal when it comes to how your engine performs. Think of it like the engine’s lungs – it’s what breathes in the air-fuel mixture. And the way that air gets delivered? That's where the 'dual plane' design comes in. PRL Construction's manifolds aren’t just slapped together; they're meticulously engineered to maximize that airflow. “We’re not reinventing the wheel, but we are making it roll smoother and faster,” explains a representative from PRL Construction. “We saw a gap in the market for manifolds that offered both exceptional performance and didn’t break the bank. A lot of the high-end options are, well, really high-end. We wanted to give the average builder a way to get significant power gains without needing a second mortgage.” So, what is a dual plane intake manifold, and why does it matter? Traditionally, intake manifolds were “single plane” – basically, a straight shot for the air to enter. Dual plane manifolds, however, split the airflow into two separate paths – two "planes" – before it reaches the cylinders. This might sound complicated, but it’s actually a really smart design. Here’s the breakdown: By separating the airflow, a dual plane manifold creates a pulsing effect. One side is taking in air while the other is delivering it to the cylinders. This "scavenging" effect helps to fill the cylinders more completely, leading to increased power and torque. “Think of it like a team of rowers,” explains the PRL Construction representative. “If everyone is rowing at the same time, it's chaotic and inefficient. But if they stagger their strokes, it creates a smoother, more powerful rhythm. That’s what the dual plane design does – it creates a better rhythm for the airflow.” What sets PRL Construction's manifolds apart? It’s not just about slapping on a dual plane design. PRL Construction has focused on several key areas to optimize performance: Runner Design: The shape and size of the runners (the pathways for the air) are critical. PRL Construction utilizes advanced flow analysis software and extensive dyno testing to perfect the runner design for specific engine applications. They offer manifolds tailored to a wide range of engines, from classic small blocks to modern LS series. Plenum Volume: The plenum (the main chamber of the manifold) also plays a significant role. PRL Construction carefully calculates the optimal plenum volume to maximize airflow and responsiveness. Too small, and it restricts airflow. Too large, and it can reduce velocity. Material & Construction: PRL Construction uses high-quality materials and employs precise manufacturing techniques to ensure durability and performance. Their manifolds are built to withstand the stresses of high-performance engines and deliver consistent results. They offer both cast aluminum and billet aluminum options, catering to different budgets and performance goals. Dyno-Proven Results: This isn't just theoretical stuff. PRL Construction backs up their claims with real-world dyno testing. They’ve consistently demonstrated significant gains in horsepower and torque across a variety of engine builds. They are happy to share dyno sheets with potential customers to showcase the performance improvements. Customization Options: Recognizing that every engine is unique, PRL Construction also offers customization options. They can modify the runner size, plenum volume, and other parameters to tailor the manifold to specific engine specifications and performance goals. Who is this for? PRL Construction's dual plane intake manifolds aren't just for professional engine builders. While the pros definitely appreciate the quality and performance, these manifolds are also accessible to the weekend warrior and dedicated enthusiast. “We’ve seen guys putting these on their street cars and being amazed by the difference,” says the PRL Construction representative. “It’s not just about peak horsepower. It also improves throttle response and drivability. It makes the engine feel more alive.” These manifolds are perfect for: Street performance builds: Increase horsepower and torque without sacrificing drivability. Drag racing: Maximize power and acceleration for competitive racing. Restomod projects: Upgrade classic cars with modern performance technology. LS swaps: A perfect upgrade for any LS engine build. Looking Ahead PRL Construction isn't resting on its laurels. The company is constantly researching and developing new products to meet the evolving needs of the automotive performance market. They're currently working on expanding their line of dual plane manifolds to cover even more engine applications, as well as developing other high-performance engine components. “We’re passionate about what we do,” says the PRL Construction representative. “We’re a small company, but we’re committed to delivering the best possible products and customer service. We want to help our customers build the engines of their dreams.” Contact: PRL Construction LLC 4285 COOKIE ANNE WAY KEIZER, OR, 97303-2493, UNITED STATES 619-436-8505
