Default *Turbo* Better Dyno results with OEM Plenum than Kinetix v+

So we dyno tuned at SpecialtyZ with the OEM plenum vs using Kinetix V+. Here are the results. The red line is OEM Plenum. Much smoother, and fuller top end power.



I had posted up a question not too long ago regarding this change, and change in power. A certain moderator decided that the question was answered (which it wasn't) and proceeded to prematurely close my thread. My guess is that isn't the only thing he does prematurely. Enjoy, before this gets closed!

The plastic plenum has been discussed in the past and there have been several reports indicating that it is a poor option for FI because of inability to hold boost. Glad you were able to prove it fares poorly on the dyno also.

Thanks. I have researched the V+ a few times, and never heard, particularly, that it was especially poor performing with FI. But yeah, it is..

You sound like a professional Kinetix V+ Plenum Dyno Tester. I wonder how many ***** will be given.

I had similar issue with a larger custom plenum that was port matched and polished... found out the best option was stock plenum with Motordyne 5/16 Spacer after several dynos.

Interesting. What made you think to try the OEM plenum vs the custom one?
