An old post but, just in case the OP is still here.
I would reconsider making the plenum out of carbon. A friend, who builds race cars, stopped me from doing just this.
On a N/A engine there shouldn't be any issues. However, a turbo engine is a different matter. The pulsing that occurs in the plenum is such that there is a risk of the carbon failing and being sucked into the engine, which happened to my friend.
The small saving in weight isn't worth risking an engine.
