I orginally bought mine for bling appeal. Than I choose to go F/I, JWT kit. There has been no leak issues & I don't have a comparo of the OEM plenum vs. the Cosworth. But I'm sure there were gains.
EDIT: Yes is spent $1500 for a plenum. Its what I wanted. There are members that have invested more into their cars for bling appeal have haven't broke 275whp also.

I'm looking forward to see how it works out for you.

I was going to purchase Eaglegreens Cosworth plenum, but he's still having leak issues. This is his 3rd time I believe and Cosworth has stated that they are willing to purchase it back. This isnt good news for a company that use to build F1 cars. Im still on the edge about purchasing a new one.

It will be interesting to see graphs from members other than a vendor's own tests. Right now I want to agree with many to say that this thing flopped. It's just another SSV but in carbon fiber lol

And I won't disagree with you a spacer might, if not does as well as the Cosworth. I orginally got on the pre-order list when I was considering staying N/A. I knew I wanted the Cosworth mainly for cosmetics. My suggestion for people considering purchasing the Cosworth plenum is; Are you willing to spend $1k-$1500 for maybe 10-15whp in the mid-range to top-end if you're F/Ied. If not, I'd look into a Spacer or oversized plenum.
