			Nice Matlab code, I used Matlab in school but never got around to using it for fun car stuff like this.  
 
I have one comment and one question: 
1. I knew some people who built a variable-volume intake plenum for dyno testing... it was essentially a box with fixed runners and a sliding lid (the throttle attached to the lid), sealing it was difficult but slightly easier than fabricating multiple plenums. 
 
2. Is there a way of predicting the relative power gain or loss due to resonance tuning? For instance, if you could somehow predict that there would be a X% gain in power at the resonant RPM but a Y% loss due to some sort of antiresonance elsewhere, you might  try runner lengths/diameters that not only maximize gains in your desired powerband but also minimize losses.
