Cool bro...school has been taking most of my time. In a few weeks I'll be done (until summer school lol). How are you doing? I sure wish I had $7k laying around. I'd buy that APS kit in a heartbeat.

Which plenum direction are you going? Any new mods?

hehe that's cool man...been just busy with work as always and finishing up my 300zx build up.

I'm leaning towards the crawford cast plenum...but i can't take my eyes off that kinetix intake manifold! If they put out good NA numbers, I'll pay the $700 in a flash! lol

New mods? Since you've seen my car, I threw on some Nismo LMGT4s and Borla true dual exhaust. The intake, test pipes, grounds, lowering, etc were all there when you last saw her. u?

I would guess you can't keep ur stock cover w/o hacking it to hell. I don't think you can put it back on top of any aftermarket plenum w/o chopping it up.

I wouldn't say never....great company to deal with. I have had my V4 in since last summer with no problems at all. Now, my V1-V3 were interesting, but oh well...I now have a great plenum that has lasted hard track days.

agreed...looks like some stock-esque sloping to me. It's better than stock, but it *looks* like their design still feeds more air to the rear cylinders.

That's a pretty good price for plenum AND strut bar.

Moodie, you already have a watch, but you don't already have a turbo.

You know what you need to do!

Damn, its very attractive at that price point. What should I do..I cant decide. It sucks b/c they wont ship until 7 weeks after the group buy, which will be like end of June. Thats a lot of freaking wait time.

For me its between this and the aam spacer, which I could get in about a week.

I'm curious about what you guys think.

not sure myself...

I'm not really sold on spacers, but that's my personal opinion. I think that the kinetix manifold has the best design to make big power, but I'm also curious to see how much torque will be lost on NA set ups because of that design. I'm going to wait until their NA dynos come out before I decide. I've already waited this long.
