The prevailing thought was that the new lower intake did not benefit from the extra volume in the plenum area. That the extra volume slowed the velocity of the air coming in to the runners. I would like to see some Dyno numbers on a 2005 6MT to see if this is true.
BTW, someone on that thread also said that since the two dyno runs were not done "back to back", but 2 months between them, that this could be the reason for the small difference in HP numbers. Another was that coolant temp was not measured and taken into consideration. The dyno numbers WERE corrected for temp, bar press, and humidity. (The only parameter that was different was the air temp, +5 deg. from the first run)

What's with APS requiring orders of at least $10,000. That's not heping my local guy (MRC in Old Bridge) get stuff in any quicker. In fact, he's hoping we can a group buy going so that he can get an order in period. And lastly , I'd love to know some numbers before I spend close to $500.The beautiful plenum looks like it would be at home deal'n with FI engines as opposed to the majority of us that are running NA. I don't mind buying on speculation....BUT, would I be getting ANY increase while still in NA config??? Thanx

I knew the cost of the Plenum way back when, but I am mostly concerned with the power it does, or doesn't, generate.....and is it actually released yet???? I'm all about the beatiful job APS did with this thing, but is it just another 'pretty face'. I got my money (credit card) in my sweaty big paw ready to let go and pull the 'Tall Boy' trigger

i find it truely amazing that this site and my350z banned APS from posting on it, and I thought it wasn't about the money but rather just not having scammers on the board, haha yeah right....
and now http://www.strictlyz.com/ the site that the admin of my350z was helping to run and sell APS kits is closed, what he didn't get his APS kit for free out of it I guess....? how sad.

Well, I've called APS dealers all over the U.S. and nobody can tell me when they're going to order/get any of these from APS. That also goes for the new single turbo as well???? All their dealers sounded LESS than pleased about the lack of response they're getting from APS. The only thing I could find out is that they're going to sell for $445. WOO HOO! What's the diff. what they sell for if ya can't get'em?

Anything else would be unfair to our paying sponsors.
