Cosworth Plenum FI/NA: Pics Inside!
I hesitate to think that this product will be a high volume seller when the focus group is turbo'd guys running over 500 whp. It's a beautiful unit though, and anyone asking why people blindly trust Cosworth...... 
Because they should. Same reason people buy Ferraris. They make the best product with the most extensive and expensive R & D.
Now, I'm not saying that a knock-off wouldn't be good

I was refering to the 360 hp quote from the Japan VQ35 with ITB's. You are correct...there are several tuners that are close or even above 300whp, which would certainly be in the 330bhp range easily.

Those cars are in the lower to mid 300 PS range, which would really be nothing to brag about with fully built motors if it was at the crank. Those numbers have to be at the wheels for at least some of them. I read a page where it had the mods on those cars in english but i can't seem to find it now...i'll keep looking. Most are running the Nismo heads, with either nismo S1 or S2 cams, forged rods and pistons, etc.

We can setup a pre-order, but I part of me wants to test it out first. Cosworth is a worth class engineering company, so I dont have no doubt in my mind that this plenum will deliver some solid gains.

is there going to be a big delay to get one after your preorders?
