I thought the SSV netted HP losses on FI cars as well?

g35man04: I think you should just save your money. Stick w/ the plenum spacer that you have. I notice you buy a lot of parts and end up selling them off. You should create a master vision of what you want to build, so you don't end up wasting a lot of money.

Hello there...

I have been running the SSV on my Vortech set up for about a year now... I dyno'd against the Crawford a couple of days apart and the HP was up just a tad 5hp or so which could have been conditions over the 2-3 days between pulls... Now the TQ... Well I lost 10tq from the SSV... The crawford overall was a better design in my case. I kept the SSV on tho since I had shows to do and it does look good! I don't do alot of racing anyhow...

With that said, I am in on the group buy for the Cosworth plenum and can't wait to see the difference between the SSV and the Cosworth. I am going to try to do back to back dyno's on the same day since it looks like an easy swap out.

I will post up results when I get the cosworth

Has anyone tried the SSV with a turbonetics kit, I would like to upgrade my plenum. The cosworth also looks great.

Where is said group buy? I failed to locate it in the marketplace. Maybe that's because it's 3:20 am and I really need to sleep.

I've found that the people headers and cams have gained power with the SSV, while those without them have lost or kept the same power

A guy on my350z said it blew the welds once he upped the boost I would purchase a Crawford plenum spacer 5/16, it's cheaper and actually gives you gains.

RedSkylineGT, if you lose the awkward looking engine cover it will look alot better!

I agree it does look better with the cover but the color is not really doing it for me.
