RSS Plenum Dyno Test Day

Guys,

Here is my opinion of today dyno test day. First, a special thank you to Greg at RSS and the crew at GT Pro. Greg went all out to show us his wonderful skill of hosting and prove his product is a winner. We, some are volunteers some are guests at the event were treated with courtesy, respect from RSS and GT Pro. Everyone had a great time with the crew and with each others. There were no shortage of food, drink and fun.

Also, I got the chance to meet a bunch of great folks who took the time, energy to be there for the dyno test. There was Simon, who came all the way from Sunnyvale (northern Cali.) to volunteer his 996 SC for the day. And Peter from O.C with his clean white stock 02 996 with 55K miles and pulled a strong 285HP without the plenum and 301 with plenum. Others with their 997S, 997, 996, Cayman were there to do the test. One of the volunteer was so satisfied that he purschased the plenum along with a complete Cargraphic exhaust syst. header/cat/muffler and installed there.

All in all, everyone who volunteer his car was very happy and satisfied. They all purchased the plenum for their cars with special price and free installation. The proof is now in writing and into history book. This will show the critics that the plenum does produced HP gain on 997, 996 like RSS has claimed.

The result for both 997S and non "S" was similar with 18-21HP gains.
The result for 996 is also closely match with 997 with 17HP.

Greg, I am happy to say your plenum is a proven product. Congratulation!

Below is the link to my raw video. Warning, I'm terrible with taking video and editing.

I concur with Peter's Assessment of Today's Dyno Day

This was my first Porsche function/GTG and I must say I was impressed with the friendliness of all who attended and the wealth of information that I literally absorbed this afternoon! I also want to thank RSS & GT Pro for their hospitality ( Lots of Food/Drinks) in addition there were some nice collection of cars. Bottom line is I'm a believer and congratulations to RSS on great product. Here are pictures from the day and a video of Peter's stock 996 w/the Plenum.
