Yes it competes against the MREV , and spacer. Basically with this, there is no need fort the MREV , spacer or upper.

But have you seen a complete upper and lower plenum assembly equipped with adjustable velocity stocks for user preference

+1--we are all anxiously waiting for dynos. If it does turn out to be another kinetix ssv, then shame on Cosworth and that will be a sore mark on their otherwise well respected reputation for making parts that make power. I wonder if this or the cf caps are really the reason for the delay on production and shipment...

i know they had the CF intake tube that was routed from behind the middle of the bumper...if they included that... what would that do in terms of theoretical performance?

Would that help with low end torque and move the power band a little to the left?

Maybe they're messing around with that possibility of including it as a kit?

+1 with a clear cf hood...OMG...you could watch the engine snarling...

ok...well you'd need food coloring in the intake filter or something

doubt it. I believe the cf intake tube was only a prototype for SEMA last year. The cf caps are supposedly making it to final production.

that was on non rev too...i think it'll be greater on the rev up...the rev up gains cost about 700 with the spacer and mrev2...makes it more cost effective if you have a rev up

there is no way it will be worth spending $1k on it if you plan to say N/A, untill we see some dynos I would say its prolly not worth it F/I either IMO. Looks great but waste of money.

Independant dynos needed, that is the beginning, middle, and end of this discussion...

With the 1/2" Iso Thermal Copper Spacer costing 370 and the MREV2 costing 420 (both new) why wouldn't it be worth it?

ESPECIALLY since it was rumored to be making power past 6500, where our cars drop off.

rumors mean jack to me... but if that is true then it could be the ultimate N/A solution (with high compression and cams of course)
