Come down to the shop (Crawford Z Car) this evening, Nov. 4. We have our Z club meeting tonight at 6:30. Should be lots of Zs there.

The only plenum design Crawford has out there now is what Doug calls the V5. It's the one on the website, www.crawfordzcar.com.

I believe there is still a waiting list , but you'd need to check with Doug on that (615-327-4159). They may be able to use your plenum as you are local and get quicker turnaround.

Do you know how long that list is?

I just cant make my mind up between the crawford plenum and cats or the Kinetix plenum and cats.

Not sure how long, but you can call Doug to inquire or email Doug at Doug@CrawfordZ.com

Definitely worth the wait!

I agree, plenum hands down! The first engine mod anyone should make.

I plan on keeping my stock airbox so what kinds of gains should I expect with the plenum in conjunction with my Borla?

After having delt with both Kinetix and Crawford, I would go with Crawford all the way.

Also, From my experiance, I would DEFFINITLY go with cats first. Did not really feel to much with the Plenum but felt a bit with the cats. Not to mention the change in sound is amazing with the cats IMO.

Seems I am going agaist the flow here, but that's my $.02

No. All our dynos are done in 5th gear.

Though I have never noticed that myself... I went back and looked at ALL my dynos. None of them read the same ratio.

I'll bring them up with the dyno owner.

No need to be skeptical... the mod is proven.

Go for the plenum first.

It doesn't change the AFR as much as the cats do so you won't be running lean until you can afford an ECU reflash. You still see good gains from the plenum too. You won't be sorry
