What kind of car? Corrado? BTW, Nice car. A friend of mine has a black VR6 and I have dibs on it when he sells. Always loved his car.

You want a large plenum, like the JG/Edelbrockdesign, or you can go with a sheetmetal style one like the Golden Eagle/STR, Venom, and such.

For boost, you want a large plenum that can flow more CFM under boost, and shorter runners that will give higher air velocity under high-RPM. The trade-off is low-end response. Longer runners will aid in low-RPM air velocity, but will choke air flow under higher RPM.
