Chris - I think you're going to need a tune after installing one of those plenums. Not real educated on those, but why not just have yours polished?
well dang it... i will be out there watching more than likely..... it will be the last event i have to watch, that week after that dang thing comes out of my car!!!!

Anybody know anything about it first hand or have a friend with one ?

Or....what about the Cosworth dual plenum ?
Kinetix V5 doesn't yield gains on NA set ups and not too much FI, IIRC. It's a nice set up if you want to do DP nitrous, though.

Cosworth isn't a dual plenum, but a regular single with CF end caps that can be opened up. This is very expensive and not meant for NA, unless you're planning on revving to 8K.

Yeah, the pic Mike posted is of Rhys Millen's Genesis that set the record for Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this year. I was in Colorado Springs the day they held the race last month, but didn't get to watch any of it. I saw a ton of race cars, including the Genesis and its trailer, and drove on the Pikes Peak Highway, though.

Here's his record breaking run:
