Default I did the Plenum!!! 28HP, 26Ft-lbs - Gains

OK I did it... I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. It's an early 1999 cable car with 44k on it. The Car is Smooooooooooooooth... It keeps going, the only problem I have is running out of gear.
Best Mod ever!!!

Mtfletch: Are you seeing this? How about we go halves...you run it for 6 months, then I'll take the next 6.

Kidding aside...are you going to get one? I was skeptical to say the least...but the dyno chart is "in your face".

If RSS has a dyno, I'll have my 02 3.6L dyno'ed before/after at their shop since they're doing the install and I'll do show and tell.

Wow, 28hp for that one piece of thingie? And like Tailwag said, $1000 for that piece?
What is the physics behind the improvement?

Is it a DIY? Looks simple enough from the pics.

basic fluid dynamics, something porsche marketeers knows nothing about, yes its a DIY. 1hr tops.

To elaborate, which porsche can go faster around a bend, a right angle turn or a "Y" angle turn?

We had this debate already, drifting is slower than the right angle method http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=80874

I keep reading this but haven't thought of anything to write because I'm somewhat speechless. This seems too good to be true, but the dyno doesn't lie, assuming no other mods were done between the before and after results.

I can even justify the $995 price that I looked up after reading this. Whoever designed this deserves to turn a profit after their time engineering the product. I am interested in hearing comments from anyone else who has installed this.

I hear ya...I just hope RSS dont start charging $15k for this...then again people would probably rather spend that much in order to believe it.

I just read the other post that was revived regarding this topic. It was mainly a bunch of skepticism, which I do understand. However, the skeptics are all people that have not performed the mod. I somewhat include myself in that group, but am open to being convinced otherwise. I will definitely keep an eye on this to see if anyone else performs the mod and shares their impressions.
