Matt, my car is available if you need one. I'll buy it if you give me a discount for using my car also. Just let me know, can have it to you whenever. John

Hey guys this isn't a group buy unforunately, we dont have permission from the manufacturer to start one but we do offer discounts to fellow sixpeeders.


Taynut, give me a call, I would love to use your car.

For a $1000 if it was my car I better feel a difference or I would be pissed. RSS is claiming 30 horspower, if this is true you should be able to feel the difference, forget the dyno, if your getting 30 more horses your going to feel it and you dont its not worth it because feeling the power is what its all about isnt it? no sense in spending a grand on something that supposed to get you 30 hp and you dont even feel it a little bit. and for me a thousand dollars is not worth a quicker throttle response.
i think the testing needs to be more comprehensive.

take 3 stock 911s

dyno all of them

install the plenum on all of them

dyno them again

uninstall the plenum

dyno them again

do all this in a couple of days or one day

normalized. averaged out.

otherwise, it's all too much fluff for me to spend $1G on.

See thats the issue we have here, some may say a grand to see if something works, i rather pass, and the next guy may say ahh what the hell give it a try and see what happens if it does nothing I wil return it. I think everyone should just take the positive and negative comments along with the price and make their own decison for themselves.

Ben, trust me, the part works well. Intake and exhaust are nothing compared to this for seat of the pants dyno.

Yeah, hard to compete with the distributor....

I think most retailers are having a problem with the distributor's method of selling for below what they can purchase it for....

Either you're a distributor or a retailer and if you're both allow the retailer to have a better price than you're offering out to the public to sponsor your own GB...

Just to clearify, I'm not talking about GMP
