I personally think it looks like a coffin that belongs in a funeral home

Has no proven numbers from what I have seen. Might want to look into it a little more.

Looks like it removes the stock strut bar. A plus is that it lets you see more of our engine... now if you could relocate all that wiring.

The installation photo is on a G35, which doesn't have a stock strut bar. That said, I'm not sure a stock Z strut bar would fit over it.

Thats a G35 . I would think it would lose torque down low . But with a TT set up who cares . I cant remember what TT it has , but it was making big whp . Its on SGP's web site . I think they did the TT install and tuning

Then again that car was dynoed by them and build by them. I think its SSR. I would really like to see an independent dyno on these two.

Sorry now I know which car your talking about. I was thinking of SSR that they said dynoed 406rwhp at 6.4psi with no timing control. The one SGP has is built bottum up. Awsome power!!

Without being able to see runner diameter and length, how on earth did you come to the conclusion that this plenum would lose low-end torque?

I was always under the impression that short runners would lose torque...longer runners more torque . That plenum ...its obvious that it has shorter runners over the stock plenum

IMO, I don't care too much about looks, I just want better performance. I haven't seen numbers but I know that the design of my stock one sucks and this one will give better performance.
That is one of the mods on my list. I'll be able to fit it under my hood, with minor modifications.

I took these pics in last year's Stillen day.

I'm really not interested in how it performs with a NA engine. It's all about forced induction for this part. Will it help even out the a/f ratio across all clyinders and prevent #6 from blowing up?

I like this plenum because it would only take a few minutes to change the spark plugs.
