I love the way the Shark turned out!
I live half a world away from you guys, but I just realized that I was about 1 mile away from your shop the other week!
I would have stopped by for a look if I´d known at the time...

I also have to learn that once Sharky installed my lights, I shouldn't mess around with it. $160 bucks later they finally fixed all the damage I done trying to mess with James' perfect work

Let me know your thoughts on the plenum, I'm very interested on whether the amazing claims on that little part is true.

Alex, where do you go for the dyno runs? I am waiting for my plenum as well and with all the other parts I received I am wanting to get a dyno to see where I am at... what is the normal drive train loss for a 1999 C2 anyways?

supposed to be 13%. some tuners up their numbers using 17% but most places say 15%. i use 13% to cut out some of the BS. so that's RWHP/0.87=crank HP for 13% driveline loss.
