Question Has anyone compared the Crawford Cast vs. APS Tall Boy Plenum yet (Dyno)???

Just curious if anyone has done a side-by-side dyno comparison of these two plenums yet? They look similar but I'm interested to know if one actually performs better than the other.

wassup james...

i have to speculate that there will prolly be not much difference between the two. you get to a point where you can modify our plenums only so much.

it comes down to brand loyalty, cost, appearance, customer service, etc.

Hey Vinh,

I havent seen any direct comparisons yet; but I can tell you that the Crawford makes an immediate difference. Both vendors are gonna get my business anyway lol. I've got the old school v1 Crawford and I love it. Eventually when I can acquire the APS TT system I'm gonna go ahead and get the tall-boy.

Either way, since both definately imporove the volume, they will make a very noticeable difference. I instantly felt the Crawford on the top end; simply pulled all the way.

+1. I don't think I've ever seen dyno results posted on the APS Tallboy. The tallboy looks really big, so I am trying to find out if you actually lose hp or not.

Should be a tossup....
APS has a volume advantage...
Crawford has a bigger neck...
Spacers are cheaper and offer 99% of the same benefits...

If theres any difference its within the margin of dyno error anyway, so pick whichever ya like...


PS I rock the Crawford strictly because of the black finish...

The APS looks absolutely awesome, and it makes a noticeable difference with the MREV-2. Spacers are cheaper, but a little ghetto.
