After driving around some more today, the Kinetix is definitely making a difference. I am noticing a lot more power when I am in high gear at low rpms. Where I used to down shift to pass someone, today I just kept it in 4th and it pulled really nicely (note, a significant difference). And I am loving the sound, no radio for me, just windows down, and that alluring engine soundtrack.

Thanks to the OP for sharing a dyno! Kudos.
This design is definitely better than their original (which isn't saying much). We need real back-to-back dynos, a sub-$400 price tag for something that is welded together and not cast, and a different manufacturer to eliminate the notoriety (shame!) of bearing a Kinetix product. Someone should copy this and make a lower cost piece for those that want to see a flatter torque curve above 6000 rpms. It'd sell well I think for $400, especially if it doesn't have "Kinetix" etched onto it.

Definitely one of the biggest reasons I miss my old Kinetix plenum, when you hit high RPM it sounds like a metallic growling. Music to the ears, I assume it's because the stainless steel let it reverberate a bit and because it is a more "open" design then the stock or Cosworth.

I feel the same way. Actually there was one Japanese brand that came out with very similar plenum, but I think they stopped making it. I tried very hard to find it, but no luck...
