If you do a search on it, it will be one of the first post on the subject because Jason tested it long before it was available to the general public.
EDIT: I'll post ScHel's dyno plot test results of the Sport Z Magazine shoot out this afternoon, but they are currently available for down load on the Motordyne website Dyno page!

Well....I got my magazine 3 days AFTER I installed my AAM spacer....all I can say is I haven't had any issues with it and the car does feel better throughout the rpm range. So, for me....a pair of thumbs in the air! Actually, Modified Mag did a test with the AAM and got good results both before and after the reflash/tune.
I'm sure, as posted in this thread, that the AAM run was the "glitch" of the test....it happens. I, for one, am very pleased.
My $.02.

Article, who knows. Right now, I'm fairly sure we're full for the spring issue. However, something always seems to happen. Please send an email to editor Dave Bexfield at editor@sportzmagazine.com and see if there is any room in the summer issue.
Thanks for asking, we are always looking for good stuff.

They installed it on a 03. Why would they install it on the 06? It has the same plenum! Get the mag if you want any further details.

i think people are confusing the terms mrev and revup.
is the mrev a modified old-style lower plenum installed on newer cars having the new variable exhaust timing, and if so, how was it modified?
my mag hasn't arrived yet. would someone pretty please post the breakdown of exactly how all the options performed?

BTW, I agree with you regarding the MC and Visa raping. However, there is nothing I can do about it. Mailing costs are going up next month and there is nothing I can do about that either. I ain't easy.

When you have the time get hold of me, and I bet with all the companys I deal with everyday. I can set you up with people that make things happen.
I will even help you save on crt. card charges. At no cost to you. SportsZ MAG rocks. Plus, I like DaveO.
