But then again, you could use the same argument on yourself.
How can you defend something that hasn't been made yet?
I think it's best to let Scott do what he needs to do to get this thing made, and then we'll see what's what.
Until then any discussion will be pretty pointless.
My personal take on this:
When you say "martin if you can show me an example of a carbon plenum from another manufacturer that has melted", don't you stop for a second and wonder why there is a lack of carbon plenums on the market for our car?
Wouldn't you think that people like Cosworth would have given it a go? But they made one with carbon covers, rather than completly out of carbon.
But again, until the item has been finalized and thoroughly tested, we won't know for sure.
And I mean thorough, i.e. give it at least a month on an engine to see what it does long term.
No point having something nice and shiney, when it don't work properly.
Also, will these items come with some sort of a guarantee?
In case that the item causes damage to the engine?
Just my thoughts.
