Cool, let me know how it goes. Would be nice to have the Cover on.

The bolts we provide for the lower plenum have green loctite put on them before we ship them to you that way they won't come out of the lower plenum. I have had them in mine for 5 months now and no problems. We don't put the long bolts with spacers in the sides because of air flow considerations. Also if you look at the lower plenum there are several bolts allready there to hold the center gasket down.

If it does it's not real noticeable. Only sound difference I noticed was the 'weerrring'...

I ordered today. I was told about a 2 week wait. Doug was a great guy to talk to from my home state of Tennessee (even though he is a Vandy and not Big Orange fan!! ). He is still cutting the $400 price for my350z.com members, but who knows how long. Full report to follow.

The plenum is awsome!
It takes about 10 more hp for my butt dyno to notice it, and with the plenum it sure as hell does. It's great to feel the car just keep pulling all the way to redline! Aside from the plenum I have nismo headers, no cats, and an open exhaust (will replace with borla dual as soon as it arrives), and all I can say is WOW! Just launching has become a re-learning experience now as the tires just keep spinning! But once you climb up to 4000, BOOM, you feel the plenum put you back in the seat

I got the plenum friday and sent the core back on saturday, for you guys still waiting for it, believe me, it's worth the wait!

Enjoy!
