we did change the underside in regards to the center support, but we actually ditched 1 of the center supports, so there is less chance of turbulence.
We now have a single support that is molded into the plastic which makes for a smoother transition than our previous 2 "cylinder posts" that simply bolted in.

What do you guys think of the new intake spacer coming out? I read this over on 350zmotoring.com where somoeone has come out with a simple spacer that goes between the upper and lower plenum and yes they even have dyno results showing gains.. I hear they are going to be doing a independent dyno runs with all aftermarket plenums and the spacer this weekend....

I have not however seen a dyno of your version 4... I remember your first one, but nothing recent. I'd love to see how this revised support is doing for your power!
Choices are wonderful!

Doug is working on pricing, and this board will be the first to know.

Hopefully pricing will be out before APS release their plenum.
Doug, if you're reading this, I have money that's burning a hole in my pocket, it's basically waiting to go to crawford.
Please hurry before it goes elsewhere.

Doug showed me the new plenum today and it looks great. Seems to adhere to the typical Crawford craftsmanship and must perform well for Doug to put it on his own car. If I can scrape up a couple of bucks I may have to pick one up.

although i am sure doug would love your business, i bet he will be able to survive without it.
this is about your third post asking about the release date or pricing on the plenum. i think your questions have been answered, so be patient, and stop being a PITA.

Here is the scoop:
We are 3-4 weeks out before our first production pieces come out of the mold. The introductory pricing will be cheaper than our current plenum price. There will be an introductory time period where you will get the discounted price. Figure the price to be $350 plus shipping (with optional strut bar for $150). There is NO core return or core charge. After introductory period, prices subject to change to that near current pricing.
We have several test pieces out currently and keeping a close eye on things. Again the mold is based on our current offering and performance is no different. The stock engine cover and stock strut bar will NOT fit (although some have modified engine cover to fit).
The new plenum is as quiet as stock due to the thicker molded “roof” and interior volume is up just a hair. The plenum is very similar to stock in that is has the throttle body waterjacket passthrough and all necessary vacuum fittings.
Also this plenum was built with the intention of holding the motherload of boost . . .for those of you interested. Try to blow this sucker up.
If you have any questions or want to be added to the list, please call (615) 327-4159. We will be happy to talk to you.
More detailed pictures of plenum to follow in the next day or so.
