I know this is an old topic, but i find something interesting. In this tread, the guy gain more torque at lower rpm and about 5hp throughout the entire rpm range.

I have been doing research on this topic for a while and always find a mix reviews. So, I dont know if it really sucks....or people say it sucks because it more of a "bling" item with the price tag of $800? Seems like it does offer some gains, for N/A, but not enought to justified the 800.

I have this plenum in my garage for 2 months, but didn't put it one yet because of I dont know if it really sucks. I would install this plenum tomorrow if someone could tell me that I wont lost power from it.

 

IMHO it's not worth the price. More for the bling factor..I've heard the gains are more significant with F/I applications, though.
However, since you have the plenum already, why don't you install it and dyno it to find out for yourself?

 

So far as significant with FI, not in my case. Took it off and went with the Crawford and gained 12whp. Dyno proven. I felt I gained back some of my loss from the SSV, plus added to from just having a better intake.

 

put it on bud, i have one on mine and if you have any q's gimme a jingle and i'll help you out. i can't tell you if you will lose power or not.


this whole deal about if its good or not is a bit misleading. for instance the price is usually $800 which is only about $75 more than a spacer/mrev for us revup guys. next everyone who makes a claim whether or not it gains power usually leaves out the details, ie what mods, motor, dyno temps, etc. i can't say for sure whether it gave me power as my next dyno will be with several mods not just the mani and the temp has taken a drastic change around here since 1.5 months ago.
