Well, all I can say is this intake is so nice looking. ![EEK!](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
And the first thing to hit my head when I saw the pic was the ability of "Direct Port" nitrous...weeee....
However, just make sure that the car runs well with that intake, and I have to say you got a winner there.
Now as for the circle vs the square problem...here is my idea.
The most volume out of the material used....Circle
The most volume out of space avaliable...all of it, and in this case, the square.
Just thought I throw my logic in the fire also...which isn't really much. LOL

Finally the wait is over. Please place me on the list of perspective buyers.
1. We keep the stock strut bar
2. We Keep the stock engine cover
3. We loose 15lbs
4. They can be polished
5. We keep our original plenum for warranty issues
I can't wait to hear about the dyno #'s and price.

You have been on my list, LSD and myself have both been receiving many email's and PM's so its hard to keep track. As far as everyones design questions, I'll leave that to the manufacturer to answer. As far as testing, I will hopefully install it next week while my car is strapped to the dyno getting the computer tuned. I will be able to see right away how the car is running since our new piggyback has a bunch of datalogging capabilities as well as the $$$ computer and wide band 02 that will be used to tune my car. I will know the exact a/f ratio and I will throughly test the plenum. We will also dyno it with the perfect power ecu and without. I have the dyno reserved for 3 days worth of tuning and testing starting next tuesday so stay tuned!

This is AWESOME.
The major benefits that I like are:
1. Keep the strut tower bar
2. Keep the stock engine cover
3. Take on/off in 30 minutes
I'll keep an eye on this, and when the final unit is ready I will almost certainly buy if:
1. It's a reasonable price (compared to the Crawford)
2. It makes power compariable to the Crawford
3. You post publish tested A/F ratios
Thanks,
Jason

Not knocking the plenum at all, but I find it funny that people are so concerned about the piece of useless plastic that is the engine cover. Especially in the pic of this nice looking plenum replacement, I think it is a bit goofy looking.
I haven't taken mine off yet since I'm lazy, but if I start to mod the engine, it probably will shortly be in my box of worthless car parts in my garage.

Andy,
How many are on the wall down here? What's the FIRST thing that was said when they popped the engine cover on the prototype... lol
UGLY engine cover.
Want a pretty smooth covered engine... buy a Buick. Want a racecar look? Let us mod your ride!

I will be tuning the car wit a wide band 02 so we will be able to tell if its running to lean... Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!! I will post any news I have during the install of the perfet power ecu..... And of course, PICS!!!!!!!
