We are on schedule, and we have a deadline we are trying to hit of end of january at which point our prototype will be dyno'd with a before/after.

I was so interested in the picture with the front mount TB that I have decided to look a little further and seeing if that is a possiblity. Mind also that this will not change our priority of completing the plastic plenum with dyno before end of january.

The 2 weeks following the prototype will allow us to get up to speed production wise, and to TRY and prepare for any incoming orders.

Sounds great to me. If it does everything that you said it does, and the price is what you say it is, count me in!! I was all ready ot ge tthe Crawford, but so far you have swayed my decision. I'll take on of the initial orders if everything pans out like it sounds.

I am the lucky S.O.B. that hopefully gets to dyno the first production mold!

I am signed up for the so-cal (san diego) dyno day on 1/31/04. If all goes well I will be dynoing a before and after on that day and posting results for all to see. lsdunique has said he is trying hard to have the "protype" ready for me for that dyno day.

If you are interested in seeing it first hand, sign up and join us, if you cannot, I promise to post pic's of it prior to install and after it is installed for all to see. Along with the dyno's

I hope they have a solution for the lack of a PCV system if they change out the lower plenum. Extra air in the crankcase is not a good thing.....or emissions friendly.

I'm in. I have been waiting for something a little less expensive than the crawford solution. The plastic plenum is a great idea for several good reasons. At least 5.

Lighter, cooler, cheaper, asthetically pleasant, and we get to keep the stock stabilizer.
Plus ( I hope ) it makes good power.

Can't wait.

Kudos to Lsdunique on the way the dynos are being done by known neutral and independent forum members.

Good luck on some nice dyno results.

Do they??? I have seen no responses. All other plenums that are out ( Eg. Top Secret ) cannot use the factory system because of the nature of their design.

YAHOO!! I'm signed up for the Dyno Day so you know I'll be there drooling over this awesome new plenum. I hope that it does everything it's supposed to. Just imagine if it actually gets better numbers than the crawford!!! THAT would be great!

Yes we are aware of that issue, which is one of the reasons why the project took a step backwards, when we have the time to focus entirely on that project (after the plastic plenum) we will again have to address this.
