Its Back, Its Black And Its Bad ***!!!!
We have incorporated this feature into our plenum.
The water lines run through a new coolant block which is also made of aluminum, like the factory material. This is then bolted directly to the underside of the throttle body mount. The block is substantial in size so that it can radiate a good amount of heat.
Good research though!!

The intake on the 98-02 camaro, firebird, vettes, the new GTO, etc are all made of the same thing. also, the plastic absorbs less heat than the aluminum one. you can probably rest your hand on this plenum after it runs. haven't tried yet though.

Those are intake runners. Take the cover off and then we might be able to see the plenum!
Just lookin out for ya bud...

NICE photos! (I knew you'd do it! )
Looks like the plenum is actually INSIDE those long tubes.
The runners are then pulling from the top, then running down the sides into the manifold.
Makes sense for the application, NICE long tubes... NICE big torque!

This is incorrect.as I live in Ocala FL. (352)362-5007
I drive a tractor trailer (owner operator) for PFT Roberson, Mairne Division in which I haul large boats FL. to long Island NY. But I have raced cars for almost 20 yrs. The post I'm asking are legitimate questions and concerns I have befor buying any R&D products. Have you done your home work?
I have also Owned Z cars since 1979 and did many mods. Last one being 300Z with TO4 turbo. I am no rookie to performance to the Z car world. Thanks for asking though.
And why would you sermize this. I own none of there products as of yet and am waiting for Kinetix results on Monday. I've been breaking my 350z in and reading the borad and dyno results and know how it should be tested.
I will be doing some HP bolt on products soon though.
Who do you work for KINETIX? or KINETIX PIMP LOL
I'll be buying what works. most bang for the buck.
again it's all about HP for me.
Thanks ,
Rodad

Hate to be the ***, but roark, you are wrong... chazzg is right. Think about it- the less weight on the system, the longer it takes to slow down, because there is less mass/friction in the system. Look at it this way... if you let a big, heavy tire and a small, light tire race down a ramp, the big, heavy one will stop first because it has more friction...
I just had a physics test and don't really want to get into centripital forces, friction and tensions right now... just know that the more mass in a moving system, the faster it slows down...
*edit*... lets not turn this thread into a discussion about this... can't wait to see the even blacker plenum and dyno results...

That is the plenum, the out side looks like the inside.

Those are intake runners, pulling from a plenum.
